Wrap Up: March 2026

Hi everyone

Spring is finally here, and I can already feel the longer days and sunshine lifting my spirits, and, I suspect, yours too! 
I’ve been diving into some fantastic books lately, an old favorite, some new discoveries, and even one I had to let go of. 

Here’s a quick roundup of what I’ve been reading in March.

 - Shauna Lawless: The Children of Gods and Fighting Men 

- Neil Gaiman: The Graveyard Book 

- Robin Hobb: City of Dragons 

- Ilona Andrews: Magic Bleeds 

- Jen Williams: The Bitter Twins 

- Terry Pratchett: Thief of Time  

-Charles Dickens: Hard Times

- Lize Spit: Autobiografie van mijn lichaam  

Sadly, I had to quit a book I really didn't like.

- Simon Jimenez: The Spear Cuts Through Water 

What did you read in March? Any hidden gems I should add to my list?

Happy reading!

Birthday Bookhaul

 Hi everyone

Last week, I turned 36! It was such a lovely day; I celebrated at work with my colleagues, and then spent the evening with my wonderful husband and two amazing daughters. Of course, we also had to celebrate with family at the weekend.
And the best part? I received four new books as gifts! I’m so excited to dive into each of them. 
Here’s what I got:

- Werner Herzog: Of Walking in Ice

- Simon Jimenez: A Spear Cuts Through Water 

- Christopher Ruocchio: Empire of Silence

- Jen Williams: The Ninth Rain

I’m so torn! Which one should I start with? If you’ve read any of these, let me know your thoughts! Or if you have other recommendations, I’d love to hear them.

Happy reading!
Helena
