This month was a bad month for Fantasy and very good month for contemporary romance.

2024/3/29 Edited to

... Read moreIn March, I dove into an exciting array of books that spanned various genres, although contemporary romance clearly outshone fantasy this month. Starting with 'Heartless' and 'Flawless,' both by Elsie Silver, these engaging reads have received high praise for their relatable characters and captivating plots. Readers were particularly fond of the emotional depth and humor encompassed in these narratives. On the fantasy front, 'The Witches of Bone Hill' and 'Emily Wild's Encyclopedia of Faeries' left much to be desired, as their slower pacing and convoluted storylines led to mixed reviews. While some readers appreciate gothic vibes and thematic elements of sisterhood, others found the execution lacking. Contemporary romance, however, flourished, as evident from 'The Unhoneymooners' and 'Love Theoretically,' which garnered attention for their witty dialogue and romantic tension. Contrasts among different reader experiences illustrate the subjective nature of book enjoyment. Each month presents an opportunity to discover new stories and perspectives; March was no exception, highlighting the ever-evolving tastes within the reading community. Get inspired to pick up these titles and join the discussions about your reading experiences!

In March I did a deep dive into Elsie Silver and I understand the hype. It’s the first time this year that I read books so quickly. At first I thought, they must be short but I was wrong. Each novel was close or well over 400 pages. They were so good that I simply devoured them! Some I enjoyed more

• You Can Tell Me by Melinda Leigh — 10/10 This book had me locked IN from the first page. The suspense?? Insane. Every chapter made me need “just one more” until suddenly I was done. I think this might be the fastest I’ve ever finished a book. If you love thrillers that actually keep you guessing
