10 Ten Books I Want to Read in March 2026

 

If it stops raining for long enough we may experience March winds this month. Obviously, like almost everyone in the UK, I am hoping for some lovely spring sunshine. Realistically though, we are more likely to have windy weather in March.

Whatever it is like where you live, I hope you find some great books to read. Here are just ten that have caught my eye this month.

 Nova Scotia House by Charlie Porter

A story of loss and grief, sex and love, and refusing to relinquish dreams

He said he would understand if it was too much for me, that I could leave him, that I was young, I should be living, I said to him, I am living.

Johnny Grant faces stark life decisions. Seeking answers, he looks back to his relationship with Jerry Field. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They fell in love and made a life on their own terms in Jerry’s flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today – but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew.

As Johnny’s mind travels between then and now, he begins to remember stories of Jerry’s youth: of experiments in living; of radical philosophies; of the many possibilities of love, sex and friendship before the AIDS crisis devastated the queer community. Slowly, he realizes what he must do next—and attempts to restore ways of being that could be lost forever.

Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.

 The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation.

Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming 'lion women.'

But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.

Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.

What Have You Done with my Son? by Rick Rosenberg

The year is 2008. Americans Heather and John Ricci are about to leave Vietnam with their amazing, adopted baby boy when something unimaginable happens-the child is abducted.

John, a sweet, loving man, isn't so sure it's worth risking their lives. Eventually, Heather wins out, and with the help of a grizzled, old Vietnam war vet, the couple desperately follow clues they hope will lead to the baby.

Only when they've been through hell and back is the astonishing truth revealed.

 Beyond Belief by Katie Baskerville

Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip.

All too often dismissed as the past-time of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there’s more to gossip than meets the eye. In today’s world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure.

Tracing gossip’s roots from old wives’ tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out?

 Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran

In 1928, Emily Locke's final year at the isolated Briarley School for Girls is derailed when Violet, the school's brightest star (and a cunning beauty for whom Emily would do anything), falls to her death on her eighteenth birthday. Emily and her buttoned-up rival Evelyn are, for once, in agreement: Violet's death was no accident. There's an obvious culprit, the French schoolmistress with whom Violet was getting a little too close - they just need to prove it.

Desperate for answers, Emily and her classmates turn to spiritualism, hoping for a glimpse of wisdom from the great beyond. To their shock, Violet's spirit appears, choosing pious Evelyn as her unlikely medium. And Violet has a warning for them: the danger has just begun.

Something deadly is infecting Briarley. It starts with rotten food and curdled milk, but quickly grows more threatening. As the body count rises and students race to save themselves, Emily must confront the fatal forces poisoning the school. Emily's fight for survival forces her to reevaluate everything she knows: about Violet, Evelyn, Briarley, and, ultimately, herself.

 The Secret Society of Librarians by Kate Thompson

Two women, torn apart by war. One shared belief in the power of books...

London, 1939. When war breaks out on librarian Joyce Kindred's doorstep and a call for help rings out across the libraries of London, she's determined to act. Joyce knows only the world of books can offer safety and comfort to her neighbourhood - and she will make sure no one is left behind.

Occupied Poland, 1942. Dorotha knows any chance of her escaping the barbed wire fences and cruelty of the Łódź ghetto dwindles by the day.

And so she shares books under the cover of darkness, creating a secret library away from her captors - that is, until even that last ray of hope is taken from her...

Joyce and Dorotha were once librarians, ordinary women, and best friends. The war has forced them into acts of unimaginable bravery - but will they ever find each other again?

  Like Me by Katharine Light

It’s summer 2008 and Jessica drives two hundred miles back to Manchester for her twenty-year school reunion. She had planned to have her life so much more together by now. She had not expected to be a divorced, exhausted mother of two small children.

When she turns up on old friend Sam’s doorstep, her secret crush for most of her teens, she realises how much they have in common. He’s a divorced father of three, and despite the open hostility of Kate, his elder daughter, and the two families living so far apart, she cannot stop her fantasy life fast-forwarding to an idyllic happy ending.

Both Jess and Sam have reasons not to delve into the past; particularly the episodes involving James, the larger-than-life leader of their teenage pack, who is a newly elected MP.

But, when Sam invites Jess to come to James’s wedding, it’s an invitation she can’t resist…

Sally Lambert is also afraid, and desperate enough to consider the unthinkable. Is it really, definitely, impossible to escape from this horror? Maybe not. There's always something you can do, right?

The Three Witches by Elena Collins - #bookreview #blogtour

1048

The young woman stood before the group of soldiers and her accusers, her head down, her wrists tied roughly with rope. She stared at her bare feet, her muddy legs...

The Blurb

Now: When Ruthie gets the part of one of Macbeth’s famous three witches she can’t wait to get started. Inspired by the beauty of the film’s Scottish locations and the camaraderie of the cast and crew, she can leave behind the expectations of her family and her lacklustre love life, at least for now. But as echoes from the past begin whispering in Ruthie’s ear and a restless spirit draws her further into its centuries-old secrets, it soon becomes clear that only she can uncover the truth of a terrible injustice.

1050 Scotland: Isobel and her two sisters have learnt about healing from their loving mother Sidheag, and she in turn has kept them safe. But without the protection of their late father, Sidheag knows that her daughters must find husbands or their futures are at risk.

Isobel believes in love over duty and when she catches sight of King Macbeth’s stepson Lulach she can picture a happiness she had hardly dare imagine. But as heir to a Scottish throne that is drenched in blood, Lulach’s destiny is to be a warrior. When Isobel’s actions leave her and her sisters vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft there may be nothing that can keep the three women safe, not even the great Macbeth himself.

As the calls from the past grow ever louder, Ruthie has no choice. Macbeth’s witches have a story that needs to be told and the truth can no longer stay hidden…

My Review

This was a fabulous book and I devoured the whole thing over one weekend. It had me gripped from the very first page.

It has a dual timeline narrative, set in Scotland in both the eleventh century and the present. It moves seamlessly from one period to the other. 

The titular three witches are those that we find in Shakespeare's Macbeth. In the earlier time period, the main character is Isobel. She is the youngest of three daughters and folklore suggests that it is the third daughter who can be the powerful one when compared to her sisters. 

Isobel lives with  her two sisters. She is a healer and midwife who is respected in her community. However, when the villagers begin accusing her of witchcraft, it isn't long before the story takes a much darker turn for Isobel.

In the present day, Ruthie is an actor who has been cast as the third witch for a documentary that is being filmed about Macbeth. It is being made in Forres, the small Scottish village  believed to be the place where Macbeth and the witches lived.  It's not long before Ruthie begins to feel a connection to Isobel. This enabled both main characters the opportunity to experience similar feelings, whilst bringing folklore and romance into the story.

I really enjoyed the way Ruthie challenged the stereotypes of the women who were labelled as witches, and the reader is led to consider them through modern eyes. 

It is a highly atmospheric and haunting read and I don't hesitate in giving it five stars. The author's description of both the setting and time periods has been done brilliantly. 

It has been well researched, making this a believable foray into the story of the witches in Macbeth. The author brought both timelines together brilliantly and it makes for wonderful reading.

I absolutely adored this book. If you are a fan of historical fiction, particularly that which concerns women who were labelled as witches, you will enjoy this book very much. It is publishing today and I highly recommend this book and I now cannot wait to get stuck into more of this author's books.

Books I Have Read This Month - February 2026

 

As we near the end of winter, the only thing keeping me going is the thought that spring isn't too far away.  When I see the crocuses popping up their glorious little mauve coloured heads, it fills my heart with joy as they promise that spring is just around the corner.

Of course, the other thing that has kept me going through this grey, wet February is the books that I have read.

The Heart-Shaped Box by Lucy Kaufman

This novella was a quick and excellent read.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

Fireflies in Winter by Eleanor Shearer

I felt very privileged to have had the opportunity to read this book ahead of publication.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

The Resistance Knitting Club by Jenny O'Brien

I have read that the author of this book wrote it as it combined two of her greatest pleasures – reading and knitting.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

The Man Who Wore All His Clothes and Other Stories by Allan Ahlberg

This is a collection of very funny stories. The humour contained in both text and illustration are very well done and it made these stories come alive.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

The Other Mother by Heidi Field

This book made for fabulous reading.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

Love Struck by Ally Bloom

This was a tense story line. Review to follow.

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur

My review of this book about Iranian women will follow.

The Impossible Thing by Belinda Bauer

Written with a dual timeline, this book kept me hooked throughout.  If you would like to read my review you can find it here.

The Impossible Thing by Belinda Bauer - #bookreview

Matthew Barr was in the crosshairs.

Finally.

Finn Garrett watched him lock the battered old Focus and sling a backpack over one shoulder. There was a woman with him - young, and with her mousy hair tied back...

The Blurb

On a summer’s evening in 1926, six-year-old Celie Shepherd is hungry and desperate and not where a six-year-old should be. Instead, she is dangling from a cliff, far above the sea, reaching out to pocket an impossibly beautiful thing.

This bold theft will change the course of Celie’s life, and the lives of others.

One hundred years later, a house is ransacked. The only thing missing: a dusty case containing that same impossible thing.

What could conceivably be so important that it is stolen again and again (and perhaps yet again…)?

My Review

Written with a dual timeline, this book kept me hooked throughout.

The book begins on a Yorkshire cliff in 1920 where the locals are scavenging for birds' eggs. This is partly how they make their living – taking eggs from their nests and selling them to collectors or their agents. I am glad to say that this is an illegal activity in the UK now. 

However, when young Celie is dangling from a rope over the cliff edge, she finds eggs that are so unusual, collectors are willing to pay a pretty high price for them.

Celie is the main character in the part of the novel set in the past. She is only six years old when the novel begins and it follows her through to adulthood.  Malnourishment meant that she would take the risk of dangling over a cliff edge to collect eggs, initially just so she and her family could have an omelette for their tea. She is a sweet and vulnerable child whom, as a reader, I felt very protective towards and feared for her safety.

In the present-day part of the book, we meet Patrick and his neighbour and friend, Weird Nick. Apparently, Patrick was introduced to readers in the author's previous book, Rubbernecker. However, I haven't read that book and this works very well as a standalone novel. Patrick is neurodivergent and his friendship with Nick often lent the novel some humour. They are both highly likeable characters and a joy to read about.

When Nick stumbles across an egg in his loft and attempts to sell it on eBay, he sets in motion a series of events that neither he nor Patrick could have foreseen.

This is a highly readable and, at times, exciting book to read. Prior to reading this, I did not know much about egg collecting and thus, I found it educational as well as a great novel to enjoy. 

It is well written and the book moves back and forth in time seamlessly. The author has researched her book very well, some of which is based on real-life events. It blends the past and present beautifully. There were sufficient twists and turns in the plot to keep me reading.

The characterisation is outstanding and I was sorry when I finished the book and had to leave Celie, Nick and Patrick behind. Each of them are adorable characters in their own individual way. 

The book has a terrific ending of which I shall say no more. It has a historical and contemporary plot which meld together beautifully. I recommend this book to you as I do not think you will be disappointed. 

I would love to hear your thoughts on this book. Have you read any of Belinda Bauer's books before?

One Fine Voice by Rebecca Langston-George - #blogtour #excerpt #extract.

Today I have an extract from this gorgeous looking book. It has to be one of the loveliest covers I have seen in a while. 

The Blurb

All her life, Esther Hopkins has been told she has a mighty fine voice. 

Still, she can't believe her luck when just days after moving to town she's invited to sing a solo at the 1923 Independence Day picnic.

But the group sponsoring the picnic is not the benevolent fraternal order they claim to be. Worse, they've recruited her father, the town's freshly ordained Baptist minister, to become their chaplain. 

When they target the immigrant family of her new best friend, Esther must risk her father's anger, the KKK's revenge, and her family's safety to follow her conscience, salvage her friendship, and find the strength to speak truth to power even if it costs all she holds dear.

The Excerpt

Chapter 2

The pianist hit a wrong note in the chorus, causing Mama to wince, just as the church’s back doors wheezed open. A girl with a big blue hair bow in the next pew turned to look at me. Our eyes locked. Then she turned toward the doors behind us. I followed her gaze. That’s when I first saw them.

White robed men wearing pointed hoods paraded up the center aisle. They marched together in pairs until they reached the altar where my daddy had just kneeled; then half went left and half went right, forming a line across the front of the church. Their faces were masked save for the cut-out eye holes. Those sunken, shadowed holes all stared right at me, it seemed, pulling my eyes toward them, locking me in their dark gaze, paralyzing me with their murky eyes. 

I tried to sing. I knew every song in the hymnal by heart. But just like the white masks staring at me I didn’t have a working mouth. I tried to read the words in the hymnal, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from those blank stares. The one thing in my body that worked was my memory. It jabbed a stick in a deep muddy pool of my mind that usually only bubbled up in my nightmares. 

Four years ago, a winter’s day. A crust of ice crunched underfoot as I walked with my uncle to his barn. A lamb had gotten loose and had frozen to death near the fence. Its white wool stiff with sparkling ice crystals. A black crow was perched atop its head, a dark berry dangling from its beak. The crow flew away, and I saw that the lamb’s eyes had been picked out. Its cold, empty eye sockets stared through me, and I screamed.   

I felt that same urge to scream right then and run clear down the street away from our new church. I even turned my head toward the back door, but something stopped me. The girl—the one with the big blue bow—she was singing, --like she probably did every Sunday. I blinked. I turned my head the other way. Daddy sang along in his strong tenor. Blink. Reverend Dewhurst held his hymnal high and sang toward the ceiling. The pianist plunked on. Mama was the only other one that looked confused. Everyone around us was acting as if nothing unusual was happening, like masked robed men marching into church was perfectly normal. Was this normal for Grayson, Indiana?

The Green Baize Door by Eleanor Birney - #bookspotlight #blogtour

 

I'm so pleased to be shining the spotlight on this book today. The Green Baize Door by Eleanor Birney is a historical mystery book which was inspired by real life events.

The Blurb

An atmospheric historical mystery where every character has their own agenda, and their own truth.

In the fashionable mansions on Chestnut Hill, a simple green baize door separates the masters’ world from the servants’. That door is thrown wide when an elderly housekeeper is found brutally murdered on the first day of the new century. Marie Chevalier, the housekeeper’s poor but ambitious granddaughter, and James Lett, the mansion owner’s kind but indolent son, suspect the killer is connected to one of their families—but which one?

From drawing rooms to alleyways, their separate investigations lead them through the sometimes lavish, sometimes brutal, landscape of turn-of-the-century New England. When long-buried secrets begin to unravel the fragile threads that hold both households together, Marie and James must find a way to bridge the gulf between them—if only to prove that the murderer belongs not to their own world, but to that strange and foreign land on the other side of the green baize door.

Inspired by real-life events, The Green Baize Door is a richly layered historical mystery that explores themes of class identity, family loyalty, and the sometimes blurry line between virtue and vice.

Eleanor Birney writes historical mysteries about class, moral ambiguity, and people who aren’t satisfied with life on their side of the green baize door.

She received a BA in History from UC Berkeley, and works as a legal research attorney, a day job that feeds her love of precision, research, and puzzles.

Growing up in foster care gave her a lifelong fascination with the way society steers people into assigned places—and how some of those people refuse to stay in them.

She lives in Northern California with her family. The Green Baize Door is her debut novel.

A Gift of Words by Rosalind Dando - #bookspotlight #blogtour

A Gift of Words was the 14th place BBNYA 2025 finalist! I am delighted to be shining the spotlight on it today.

The Blurb

A magical gift is more trouble than it's worth...

Cam has plenty of things to worry about. His best friend might have broken someone’s fingers, the class bully won’t leave him alone, and staying under the radar of his teachers is much harder than it ought to be. He definitely doesn’t need magic to make his life any more complicated. Which is good, because when he does write his name in Libris Sapientia—the book of wisdom—a whole lot of nothing happens. He is a failure, and even a book agrees. Then, Loman Lykill joins their class, bringing a whole new brand of chaos to Highgrove Secondary. Cam has his magical gift, whether he wants it or not.
