Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2026


This month I read 9 books and a total of 2683 pages, that about 400 pages less than the previous month. But it's fine because last month was the odd month where I read incessantly 😅 I was also very distracted by the new Resident Evil game this month 🤭
  • 6 were full-length novels, 2 manga, and 1 anthology
  • 4 were part of a series, and 5 were standalones
  • I started 1 series, caught up on 1, and abandoned 1
  • 8 were finished copies and 1 ARC
  • 7 were physical books, and 2 were ebooks
  • 1 was 5 stars, 4 were 4.5 stars, 3 were 4 stars, and 1was 3.5 stars
  • All 9 were traditionally published
  • 5 were by authors I've previously read, and 4 were new to me
  • 6 were adult books, and 3 were YA books
  • All 9 were fiction
  • 2 were action, 6 horror, and 1 paranormal romance

Books read this month:

    

Loteria was a collection of short horror stories all inspired by the cards in the Mexican board game of the same name, and I enjoyed it a lot! It was creepy and some of the stories were quite horrific. Volume 2 of Kindergarten Wars was a lot of fun! Lots of action and fun bickering. Lol. The Caretaker was another horror book, and this one was very eerie and weird, but in the best way possible! Tastes Like Candy ended up being predictable and I didn't really like any of the characters, but I loved the setting and the kills were fun! How to Fake a Haunting was another great horror book with some family drama mixed in! I loved the whole concept of the fake haunting potentially turning real 👀

   

The Haunting of Paynes Hollow was ANOTHER good horror book! This one by the one and only Kelley Armstrong, and the story was about the headless horseman! So fun! Go Luck Yourself was a really fun romance between the prince of Christmas and the prince of St. Patrick's Day and I loved it 😍 It had a lot of depth with really good character arcs that almost definitely made me cry 😢 And The Hacienda was my favorite of all the horror novels I read this month! It was historical, horror, had a forbidden romance, a haunted house, and witchcraft! I loved everything about it! And then I ended the month (literally read it this morning lol) with another volume of Kindergarten Wars. Also a fun one. Lol.

Favorite book of the month:


It might be recency bias since I finished it last, though this is the only book I gave a solid 5 stars to, but I loved this book so much! 😭

Least favorite book of the month:

None! I liked them all!
