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.

The Shadows Between Us - Tricia Levenseller

  This was such a fun book. It's very suitable for the YA (Young Adult) market though it could easily - and gratefully may I add - be adapted into a saucy romance if the writer wanted to.  The story focuses on Alessandra, an ambitious and power hungry young women that sets her sights on the Shadow King. But he keeps her at arms length, instead, proposing a mutual agreement that gives them both what they want.  The book had some serious and well thought out feminist undertones, with both Alessandras encouragement of her friends, the Kings desire to change the way social norms are expected as well as Alessandra's own exploits in knowing her own mind and body.  the only thing that threw me off was the time period - though the story is clearly fantasy (you'll be able to tell this early on), the presence of electricity threw me off, combined with the clothing which is described at length, and then the social boundaries and class standings. Overall, I enjoyed it and would ...

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...

The American Roommate Experiment - Elena Armas

After reading The Spanish Love Deception a few weeks ago - I couldn't wait to get stuck into this one and see Rosie and Lucas' story play out. Whilst I enjoyed watching Lina and Aaron's antics, there was an element of it that felt forced and I had hopes that The American Roommate Experiment would be a smoother story.  And it was. Definitely a slow burn, but it felt so much more natural and organic in the way their relationship developed.  Rosie is classically awkward in the way that only someone with a secret crush can be and Lucas is cocky without being arrogant, and clearly an absolute snack.  Of course, it was predictable, no one wants to read a romance where the couple doesn't get together at the end right? (I'm looking at you, The Idea of You) but it was a lovely read that left you invested in the couple.  The American Roommate Experiment was a nice one day read for me and Elena Armas will probably now be auto-buy author for me!
