Month: March 2026

Goodreads Reading Challenge 2026 [March]

March 31, 2026 — Leave a comment

I read eight books this month! I feel pretty proud of myself, ha ha. Oh, and after re-reading Odd Thomas because of my coworker, I am now going to finish the entire series because she insisted I should. It’s fine, as long as they aren’t all as heartbreaking as the first one…

Anyway, here are my reads and ratings for March!

1. An Unwanted Guest (Shari Lapena)

Rating: 3/5

2. The Homewreckers (Mary Kay Andrews)

Rating: 3/5

3. We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Shirley Jackson)

Rating: 4/5

4. The October Society: Season Three (Christopher Robertson)

Rating: 5/5

5. The Good Girl (Mary Kubica)

Rating: 4.5/5

6. Sleep Tight (J.H. Markert)

Rating: 4/5

7. The Lost Village (Camilla Sten)

Rating: 5/5

8. Forever Odd (Dean Koontz)

Rating: 4/5

***

I am currently reading Brother Odd (Dean Koontz) and Stay in the Light (A.M. Shine).

Progress: 19/80
