Reading Roundup - March 2023

 


The clocks went forward last weekend, and I am very much looking forward to the lighter evenings. Not to mention warmer days with the weak spring sunshine doing it's best to brighten our days.

March has been a good month for reading and I have read some good books, along with a couple that I did not care for much.

I hope it was a good month for you too. Did you read something you think that I might enjoy? I would love to hear about it.


Books I Have Read

Dreaming of Flight by Catherine Ryan Hyde - A gorgeous book and almost my favourite this month. You can read my review by clicking here.

Woman of a Certain Rage by Georgie Hall - We read this fictional book about a woman going through the menopause for my book group this month, and overall we did not enjoy it greatly.

Kindred by Octavia E. Butler - This book was my favourite book this month. It was just wonderful. You can read my review by clicking here.

Maid of Steel by Kate Baker - I read this book as part of a blog tour and I am very glad I did. You can read my review by clicking here.

Where We Belong by Sarah Bennett - I enjoyed this light read set in a rural Cotswolds village. If you would like to read my review you can do so here.

Birthright by Charles Lambert - Enjoyable intense read about a young woman who meets her doppelganger. You can read my review by clicking here.

A Line to Kill by Anthony Horowitz - another enjoyable book in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.

Still Life by Val McDermid - I am so enjoying the Karen Pirie series and am eagerly awaiting publication of the next in the series.

The Hagley Wood Murder by M.J. Trow - A fascinating true crime book set during World War II which is being released today. You can read my review by clicking here.

Lyrics for the Loved Ones by Anne Goodwin - I have been blessed to have an early readers copy of this book. It is due for publication in May and my review will also go live then too.

Books I Did Not Finish

When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman - This really did not work for me.

Death in Fancy Dress by Anthony Gilbert - I had high hopes for this but it did not live up to my expectation.
