My March 2023 TBR

 

To avoid getting overwhelmed by choice everytime I look to pick my next book, I'm attempting to but a TBR list together for each month. That way I only need to choose the order to read them in! (And hopefully, slow down my book buying problem...)


The Witches of Ardo - Anya Bergman

A new addition to my TBR list because I cannot resist a witchy book. This one focusses on a series of witch trials in Scandinavia.


The Hundred Loves of Juliet - Evelyn Skye

The latest ARC release from NetGalley - this one is promising to be cute and cosy and very romantic. 


One Christmas Morning - Rachel Greenlaw

I KNOW that it's too early but I need to research for the December recommendations at some point surely? Another ARC release from NetGalley that I'm saving for the next cold snap before Spring. 


Fairytale - Stephen King

I don't think I need to justify this one. I have been a fan of Stephen King for years so as well as reading through the back-catalogue when I can, I also read his new books as they come out. I've seen a few reviews of Fairytale already and I'm looking forward to getting into this one during my annual leave at the start of March.


The English Fuhrer - Rory Clements

For some reason, I have a deep interest in the What Could Have Been of the Second World War. I've got Fatherland on my TBR and recently read The Man in the High Castle and they grip me in a really bizarre way. This one should be good. 


It Happened One Summer - Tessa Bailey

I definitely read these in the wrong order, but after reading Hook Line and Sinker, I've been waiting to start the prequel. I love the idea of a dark and brooding fisherman so I'm excited for a break on the American coast.


The Humans - Matt Haig

I feel like Matt Haig's books can vary in their excellence - I've read incredible work from him, and some less than great. But I have this on my bookshelf so I'm going to get stuck in in March. 


The American Roommate Experiment - Elena Armas

Reading The Spanish Love Deception was a brilliant experience so I had high hopes for the sequel. I'm looking forward to hearing about what trouble Lina's cousin is going to get into.

A Merry Little Meet Cute - Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone

What a bloody lovely Christmas beaut this was! If you're venturing into spicy romance books and have been on Instagram or TikTok recently, it's likely that you would have seen this little gem doing the rounds.  Bee is a content creator for ClosedDoor (think.. OnlyFans) and Nolan is an ex-boyband bad boy that are both cast in a Hope Channel (think... Hallmark) Christmas movie, Duke The Halls. Nolan is reinventing his career and trying to rid himself of the bad boy image whereas Bee is brought in last minute because the Lead Actress has been taken ill.  The best part? Bee was a massive fan of Nolan in her teenage years and Nolan has been following Bee on social media for a while. And they're getting paid to get to know each other.  I adored this book. It was everything I wanted it to be and is perfect for those of us who love a Hallmark Christmas movie but wished there was a bit heat in the romances. the positive message around Bee's work is brilliantly handled, not to me...

Orphans of The Storm - Celia Imrie

  Started: Thursday 7th July 2022 Finished: Saturday 9th July 2022 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Given my obsession with the story of the Titanic in my younger years, this is the first book I've ever read which is based around the tragic disaster.  I bought Orphans of the Storm on a whim on one of my Waterstone's sprees - and I vowed to make it my next read. What I didn't realise is that it is based on the true story of the last surviving passenger from the disaster. And it was incredible.  So incredible that the minute I got home, I gave it to my mum to read and I've just bought a copy for one of my ex-colleagues because the history was common ground for us.  I didn't know what to expect - I knew it would pull at the heart strings but I didn't appreciate quite how much.  The way it's written, Imrie really allows the suspense and bewilderment to build. Of course, it's no spoiler to say - The Ship Sinks At The End - but the way it is written from two separate perspe...

The Colorado Kid - Stephen King

  After the masterpiece that was Fairy Tale, I knew The Colorado Kid wasn't going to match up. But it pains me to say that I think I went from one end of the spectrum to the other within days.  I will be clear - I am very aware that the reason I didn't enjoy The Colorado Kid is the exact premise of the book - no one likes an unfinished story. Which is exactly what this is and is intended to me.  Two old-school local reporters are sat discussing unsolved mysteries of their local town with their new colleague and the case of The Colorado Kid is recounted - creating more questions than there are answers.  I've read King's other two Hard Case Crime books (Joyland and Later) and I thoroughly enjoyed them so I was gutted this didn't hit the mark. I'd love to see this developed into a full-length thriller at some point because I think the story would be absolutely crazy but for now, I'll have to sit with this as my lowest rated Stephen King book to date.
