On the Shelf: March 2025

I thought March was going to be a tough month for reading, but I actually got through 18 books! Everything from Beverly Jenkins and Laura Kinsale classics to charming new voices like Myah Ariel—with some Keeper Shelf favorites from SEP and Jeannie Lin for good measure. I was thrilled to zip through Aydra Richards' latest, pretty much the minute it hit the Kindle store, and dove into the new Kate Canterbary. The former featured an FMC with ADHD and the latter had one with an often-ignored shellfish allergy, so I felt very seen. 

The Reading Rundown
No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel (contemporary romance)
In a Rush by Kate Canterbary (contemporary romance)
The Midnight Arrow by Zoey Draven (sci-fi romance, paranormal romance)
[Redacted] by TK (out 5/6, suspense, thriller, for professional review purposes)
A Ship of Bones and Teeth by Karina Halle (dark romance, paranormal romance)
The Trouble With Inventing a Viscount by Vivienne Lorret (historical romance)
Kills Well With Others by Deanna Raybourn (suspense, thriller)
Mercy Fletcher Meets Her Match by Aydra Richards (historical romance)

Backlist titles & rereads: I started out with Ain't She Sweet and Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, both of which I have in paperback. (I had to glue the covers back on. It was a whole thing!) Then it was back to my Kindle for some rereads of Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase and my very favorite The Jade Temptress by Jeannie Lin. I felt vaguely pirate-y after that, so I reread Sea of Ruin by Pam Godwin. I was so compelled by Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale that I wrote a whole newsletter ramble about it. I followed that with some other new-to-me historical romances: Delicious by Sherry Thomas, Played By the Earl by Alyson Chase, and the much-loved classic that is Vivid by Beverly Jenkins. I guess I was feeling pretty masochistic by the end of the month, because my last reread was Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. You know, 'cause reality isn't dystopian enough.

Currently reading: Hunger in the Blood by Zoey Draven.

On the wish list/TBR
Gabriela and His Grace by Liana de la Rosa
The Night Birds by Christopher Golden
The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed
Ready to Score by Jodie Slaughter

  1. For entrepreneurs, securing the right registrations ensures smooth business operations. Whether you are looking for Trust Registration, a Trademark Registration, or the unique benefits of Spice Board Registration Service Providers in Coimbatore, it’s important to understand your legal requirements. Additionally, you may need Partnership Firm Registration or even a Section 8 Company Registration to operate effectively in your industry. Be sure to also secure GST Registration for tax compliance.
