Books I Have Read This Month - March 2026

As another end of month rolls around, I am looking at the books I have read this month.

I have read a couple of really good ones, but there have been a few that didn't strike a chord with me. That doesn't mean that they are not good books, only that they didn't work for me, and I would encourage you to read them for yourselves. Reading is a very subjective experience and is always worth making up our own minds about.

The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

This was the book choice for my Book Group this month. It was enjoyed very much by everyone and I highly recommend it. I haven't reviewed yet but it will be coming soon.

Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde

This was a very powerful book about a young man who is physically scarred and how he learns to deal with it. It is well worth reading and I highly recommend.  I haven't reviewed yet but it will be coming soon.

No One Would Do What the Lambert's Have Done by Sophie Hannah

This is a very different offering from the usual Sophie Hannah novel. You can find my review by clicking here.

The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood

I am a big fan of the television series for this series of book but this was my first venture into the books. Personally, I prefer watching it to reading it.

A Theory in Vienna by Heidi Gallacher

Based on true events, this is the remarkable story of Ignaz Semmelweis, an unsung hero of the 19th century. You can find my review by clicking here.

The Three Witches by Elena Collins

This was a fabulous book and I devoured the whole thing over one weekend. It had me gripped from the very first page and was my favourite read this month. You can find my review by clicking here.

Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur

This book contains a series of stories of Iranian women who have chosen to live their lives without men and made for interesting reading. You can find my review by clicking here.

Like Me by Katharine Light

Although I read this from beginning to end, it didn't work for me. However, I did a spotlight of this book and if you would like to read it you can find it here.

New Harmony by Leon E. Pettiway

I literally finished this during the early hours of this morning. My review of this will be up tomorrow so watch this space.
