What a month! I did a lot of reading in March, finishing 13 books. I credit this success with 1) the Trans Rights Readathon, which always encourages me to read as much as I can and 2) my reintroduction to audiobooks. Check out what I read and acquired below!

The highlight of March was the Trans Rights Readathon, which I participate in every year. Across the internet, people get together to boost books by authors or with characters that fall under the trans umbrella and raise money for causes that help the trans community. This year, I read five book for the readathon and will be donating £5 per book to Trans Lifeline, a service in the US that connects trans people to community support and resources. You can learn more about Trans Lifeline and make a donation here!
It was a great reading month, as you can see, in that I really enjoyed almost everything I picked up. My favourite book was The River has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar, but rediscovering Sarah Gailey’s books was also a delight!
Books I bought
I made a couple cheeky trips to my local bookstore this month, both with my parents (who are total enablers) and on my own (I am also my own enabler). I also found the remains of my Christmas Waterstones giftcard – a huge win!
The books I’m most excited to read are definitely Clockwork Boys, Faithbreaker, and Story of a Murder. I am just over halfway through The Notorious Virtues, which is absolutely marvellous and so fun!
A quick note that Blood on Her Tongue is included here, but my wonderful friend Gem bought it for me as a gift! Bookish friends are the very best.
Books sent by publishers
Publishers were very kind to me this month! Not only did I receive the full set of the reissue of T. Kingfisher’s Saints of Steel series (I’m totally obsessed with the beautiful, old school covers), I also received amazing books like Emily Carol’s A Guest in the House (which I had read previous and absolutely loved! Highly recommended to anyone interested in horror graphic novels) and Chuck Wendig’s upcoming The Staircase in the Woods. Keep an eye on the blog for reviews of these books as I read them!
That’s it for this month – I’m really looking forward to keeping the reading momentum going in April!
