March was a great month for reading. It started out cold but now Spring is in the air with warmer days, road trips, and coffee (or wine) with friends.
I mostly read mysteries this month, but Rachel Hanna came out with her newest book, The Unpolished Life of Eleanor Whitfield, so I had to take a break from my mysteries to visit the small town of Copper Creek. I always enjoy visiting the small towns in Rachel’s books.
March Reading List:
I am still reading the Rose Gardner Mystery Series by Denise Grover Swank, so I read four of these books in March.
- Ripple of Secrets by Denise Grover Swank (Rose Gardner Mystery Series)
One of the things I truly enjoyed about this book is how the story unfolds from several different points of view. Chapters from Rose, Mason, Joe, and Hillary add significant depth to the story. I don’t like Hillary, so I particularly appreciated seeing things from her perspective; it helped me understand her character much better. This insight reveals the reasons behind her behavior, adding an intriguing layer to the overall story
2. Thirty-Four and a Half Predicaments by Denise Grover Swank (Rose Gardner Mystery Series)
I loved this one!! This book kept me engaged from beginning to end. If you enjoy small-town mysteries with strong characters, a touch of humor, and plenty of suspense, this is a must-read! I highly recommend it!
3. Thirty-Five and a Half Conspiracies by Denise Grover Swank (Rose Gardner Mystery Series)
This book is a fast-paced and entertaining addition to the Rose Gardner Mysteries series. Denise Grover Swank masterfully crafts a compelling mystery brimming with danger, intrigue, and drama in the small town of Fenton County.
4. The Unpolished Life of Eleanor Whitfield by Rachel Hann
Rachel Hanna has done it again. She has written a book that makes me smile, laugh, and cry all at the same time. This book was a definite five-star read for me—one of those stories that not only entertains but also gently settles into your heart.
I always envision myself living in the fictional small towns from Rachel’s books. She has a unique ability to draw you into her stories, making you feel like a part of them.
5. Thirty-Six and a Half Motives by Denise Grover Swank (Rose Gardner Mystery Series)
What I loved most was how the author skillfully balanced the tension of a thrilling investigation with well-developed characters and emotional depth. You become invested in the characters while being completely captivated by the unfolding mystery.
March Reading Thoughts
- This month’s theme was mysteries with a Small-Town Romance thrown in.
- Rachel Hanna had a new book release this month and when she releases a book, I am always going to read it as quickly as possible
- The month started out cold, but now we are starting to see the beginnings of Spring with a bit warmer weather. Still a great time to read.
- I am ready for warmer weather so I can read around the pool, take road trips, and travel.
