What I’ve Read – March 2026

Mar 31, 2026 | Blog, Books, What I've Read

I can’t believe March is already over! I’ve recently come back from a two week holiday to Nepal. It was AMAZING, and I got quite a few books read. Before I left, I worked hard at finishing most of the books I had on the go.

Here’s what I read during March:

  • Far From Home by Sheila Newbury – an audibook that was okay
  • Sunset in Sydney by Sandy Barker – a romance audiobook. I hadn’t realised this was part of a series
  • The Booksellers Gift by Felicity Hayes-McCoy – a romance book that was interesting in that it wasn’t a single love story, there were a few in there. I enjoyed this one
  • Witch Way to Murder and Mayhem by Jane Hinchey – an ebook I read on my kindle. I had downloaded this a while ago and only just read it now. I enjoyed this story of murder and mayhem.
  • Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella – I borrowed this as an audiobook not realising I had read this a number of years earlier. This was an interesting premise and, because I had read it before, was a good one to doze to while on the plane.
  • The Imagination Box by Martyn Ford – a middle grade book I borrowed as an audiobook. It’s a fun story and one I think my nephew will enjoy.
  • Namaste! by Diana Cohn – a picture book I bought in Nepal. It has a lovely message that saying Namaste to people can brighten their day and be just as important as the work grown ups do.
  • Yak and Nak go on a Trek by Hermione Roff & Tim Griffiths – a picture book I bought in Nepal that has a fun message about being in the place that’s right for you
  • The Battle of the Bookshops by Poppy Alexander – a romance audiobook that was trying to be a version of Romeo and Juliet. It was okay, but fell a bit short for me
  • Ne’er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti – a Regency romance I listened to on audiobook. An interesting story with a number of threads to keep me listening
  • Saving the Lakeside Hotel  by Melinda Huber – this is an ebook I downloaded a while ago. It was an enjoyable story and I want to see what happens next
  • The Adventures of Captain Vertigo and Fart Man by Jules Wallace – another ebook I downloaded a while ago. This is set up as a series of short stories and I read this on the plane. A fun book for a middle grade audience

With this, I’m at 30 books for the year. I currently have a number of books on the go, including an audiobook I began before I went away (I may finish it later today, but will include it in the post next month)

How has your reading been going for the year?

Last week, I spoke for half an hour about murder mysteries and elements of writing them. The only planning I did was that I knew the teens wanted a murder mystery prompt and that was ready for them. The previous weekend, I spoke for half an hour about how a...

Social media feels like an open-plan office. Back in the day, I'm talking early 2000s, the Internet was full of small communities. I ran one myself, as well as being a member of different message boards, mostly around parenting and small business. Most of these ran on...

Navigating the library with AuDHD

This is something I've spoken about before, but it's worth mentioning again. Libraries can be wonderfully safe places for neurodivergent people. They are often quiet and calm, and you can be surrounded by books. There are times when there is noise, especially during...
