What We’re Reading: March 2021

We’re determined to make March a great reading month. We’re almost a quarter of the way through 2021, and there have been so many great releases this year already—we can’t keep up! Check out what our team is planning on picking up this month, and let us know which you’re adding to your TBR!

Gabi LePage, Founder

I'm thrilled to read The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris this month. I've heard rave reviews for her novel and love that it's set in the publishing world. Emily St. John Mandel called it "Riveting, fearless, and vividly original." Count me in!

Lizzy Schmitter, Designer

I plan on reading Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson, which is the sequel to one of my favorite books, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder! The first book was so good, and the main character, Pippa, is one of my favorite book characters of all time.

Carly Radiske, Email Marketing Strategist

Besides our March pick, I’m reading A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas. I picked a good time to start the ACOTAR series and anxious to see what happens in this next book.

Alexis Neuville, Editor

I’ve been on a fantasy kick lately, so The Gilded Ones is right up my alley! This one has been getting such good buzz, and everyone who has read it so far has loved it. Plus, this cover is STUNNING.

Michelle Martin, Community Manager

I'm looking forward to reading This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith because I've heard that Cross-Smith is a master at writing about relationships and people, and I'm excited to check out her work.

Mackenzie Leavenworth, Outreach Manager

I plan on reading Namesake by Adrienne Young - I totally devoured the first book in this duology, Fable, last December! Filled with adventure, emotion and a love for the sea - this book stole my heart! The first book left off on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens! (Also, I can't wait to hold the two book covers next to each other to complete the picture!)

Renee Watson, Digital Host

I am finally digging into My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem which looks at the way we can find and encourage healing from the trauma of racism. This is one of the first books that I have come across that discusses the traumatic effects of racism on everyone involved, black bodies, white minds, and everyone in between, through the use of bodywork and well-known trauma treatments. This is like the racial trauma version of The Body Keeps The Score and I am here for it.
