March will see my Kindle Unlimited subscription take a pause for a while (unless a good deal pops up), so I’m planning to make a slight dent in my to be read pile. February hasn’t been a great reading month, more on that in my wrap up coming soon, and I’ve honestly been feeling pretty down about reading. Which is what happens when an anticipated final book in a series pretty much ruins the whole series for you. I’ll let you guess which book that is when the review gets posted later this month.
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
It’s taken me five years but I’m finally going to read Cemetery Boys. I’ve had this planned in my to be read for a while (a habit I have carried in 2026 after planning out my festive reads throughout 2025) and I will 100% be reading it. I’m making it my mission. It will be my first read in March and first fantasy in over a month.
This is the only fantasy I’m committing to next month. There are a few I want to check out, but I don’t want to promise too much when I’ll likely fall into a fantasy slump.
Synopsis: Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.
However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school’s resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He’s determined to find out what happened and tie up some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave.
Dating and Dragons by Kristy Boyce
I adored book one in this series of standalones so I have high hopes for this. This book wasn’t in my original to be read plan but I feel like I need a bit of a pick me up and a Dungeons and Dragons themed romance should do just that. Let’s hope the rules of the game are more accurate in this instalment.
This one is giving major Critical Role vibes with the group live streaming their games, very fun. I’ve also just found out a third book is releasing in May, which is very exciting!
Synopsis: Quinn Norton is starting over at a new high school and hopes that joining a D&D game will be the trick to making friends. The plan sounds even better when she’s invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class. But this isn’t your average D&D campaign— this group livestreams their games and enforces strict rules: no phones allowed, and no dating other group members.
Quinn is willing to accept the rules, even if it makes Logan off-limits. And she quickly learns that doing so won’t be a problem, since Logan goes from charismatic to insufferable as soon as she agrees to join. As their bickering—and bantering—intensifies inside and outside the game, Quinn can’t help wondering: Is Logan’s infuriating behavior a smokescreen for hidden feelings? Quinn is risking it all, and the twenty-sided dice are rolling!
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
*I thought I had a photo of this book, but apparently not. Sorry!*
I’ve seen a lot of people say this is their favourite Ali Hazelwood book so of course I need to make it one of my next reads. I was planning to read Bride next, but I’ve been convinced to read this one first. I feel like my over tired brain enjoys romances more at the moment, hence why I’m testing the waters with just one fantasy next month. I do want to finally get around to Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin, but that book feels like a huge commitment right now.
Synopsis: The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and broody older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And that same Jack who now sits on the hiring committee at MIT, right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?
