New Books for the First Tuesday of March!

Hello, Tuesday friends! I hope you were able to enjoy your weekend, and have been able to find some time to read. I know that I have been throwing myself into books harder than ever these days. I am so grateful to have them. And I am grateful for you, too!

Now, for today: it’s time for a first Tuesday megalist! I do these because the first Tuesday of each month has so many new releases, it’s fun to round some of them up. Below, you’ll find titles (loosely) broken up into several categories, to make it easier for your browsing convenience. I hope you have fun with it! And as with each first Tuesday newsletter, I am putting a ❤️ next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved.

And speaking of today’s great books, for this week’s episode of All the Books! Danika and I discussed some of the wonderful books that we’ve read, such as Gallant, A Thousand Steps Into Night, Loveless, and more.

Make sure to get your own Read Harder Book Journal from Book Riot to track your reading for the year!

And now, it’s time for everyone’s favorite gameshow: AHHHHHH MY TBR! Here are today’s contestants:

This week: I’m currently reading Don’t Cry for Me by Daniel Black and The Last Suspicious Holdout: Stories by Ladee Hubbard. Outside of books, I’m halfway through watching The Big Bang Theory. (Very few things have made me laugh as much as the ball pit scene.) And the song stuck in my head is Mr. Rabbit by Paul Westerberg. And here’s a cat picture: My Uber driver could barely see over the dashboard, but he was really cute.
