Reading Roundup for March 2025

 

It has been so lovely to see the sun shine for the last few days. It seems to make people so much happier and more cheerful. Also, the clocks went forward over the weekend and I am looking forward to the lighter evenings. It's so good to feel that winter is behind us now.

Here is the list of books which I have read. What have you all been reading this month?

Death of a Dancing Queen by Kimberly G. Giarratano

I loved the main character in this book. She is private investigator, Billie Levine who is struggling with her work whilst caring for her mother. You can find my review by clicking here.

The Bookseller by Valerie Keogh

I am always excited when a new novel by Valerie Keogh comes along. I have read several and they never disappoint.  You can find my review by clicking here.

The Undesirables: The Law That Locked Away a Generation by Sarah Wise

Through the early twentieth century, the British Government locked away over 50,000 innocent people. Their ‘crimes’? Being poor and unyielding. This is their story. This was excellent and well worth reading. I was unable to write a review for this one but you can find more about this book here.

Mother Howl by Craig Clevenger

It took me a little while to warm to this book, but it was well worth hanging in there.  You can find my review by clicking here.

Broken Water by Nick Perry

Cat and Dumpling: Home Sweet Home by Nicola Kent

Reunion by Fred Ulman

Although I haven't written a review of this one it was my favourite book of the month. A powerful novella about two German boys growing up in 1933; one from German Aristocracy, the other a Jew. Outstanding. You can find out more about the book here.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I thought this was a fabulous book. It was steeped in glamour and made for a luscious read.  You can find my review by clicking here.

Murder on the Oxford Canal by Faith Martin

An enjoyable first book in the DI Hillary Green series.  You can find more about the book by clicking here.
