Anticipated March 2026 Releases

 

I started putting this March 2026 releases list together and it just... kept going...and I then realized that March was overflowing with new releases and had mixed feelings of excitement and existential concern that I'll never be able to read everything. Such is the life of a reader, though, and I think we still love getting excited about all the new releases regardless of whether we have the time t oread them all or not! So without further ado, here are (some of) the many amazing books coming out in March. I have a number of ARCs from this list, some of which I've read already and some I haven't, so owe'll see how the month goes, haha. What books are you all most excited for in March!?

From Goodreads:
"Something darker than the devil stalks the North Carolina woods in Wolf Worm, a new gothic masterpiece from New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher

“I saw the devil in these woods.”

Sonia Wilson is a talented scientific illustrator―but she is only able to follow her dream because of her father’s reputation as a renowned scientist. Such is the lot in life for a woman in science in 1899. And after his death, she is left without work, prospects, or hope.

So when the reclusive Dr. Halder offers her a position illustrating his vast collection of insects, Sonia jumps at the chance to move to his North Carolina manor house and put her talents to use.

Once there though, she encounters dark happenings in the Carolina woods, and even darker questions come to light, like what happened to her predecessor? Why are animals acting so strangely, and what is behind the peculiar local whispers about “blood thiefs?”

With the aid of the housekeeper and a local healer, Sonia discovers that Halder’s entomological studies have taken him down a twisted road. His ground-breaking discoveries come with a cost―one that Halder is paying with human flesh.

If Sonia can’t find a way to stop the monstrosity, she may be next under the knife."

But their journey between dimensions is one they never trained for. Strange voices in the corridors. Long lost faces not forgotten. Strange symbols carved into the hull. And gathering outside the ship, ancient forces beyond reckoning.

The crew will need all their skills to survive and uncover the twisted truth behind their mission.

Commencing countdown..."

Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser
Publication: March 3rd, 2026
St. Martin's Press
Hardcover. 352 pages.
Pre-order: Bookshop.org | Amazon

From Goodreads:
"'A bold and beautifully written examination of a mother's love told through the eyes of Cinderella's 'wicked' stepmother.' ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review) •

"Destined to be one of the biggest books of the year." ―Glennon Doyle, #1 bestselling author of Untamed •

Twice-widowed, Lady Etheldreda Verity Isolde Tremaine Bramley is solely responsible for her two children, a priggish stepdaughter, a razor-taloned peregrine falcon, and a crumbling manor. Fierce and determined, Ethel clings to the respectability her deceased husband’s title affords her, hoping it will secure her daughters’ future through marriage.

When a royal ball offers the chance to change everything, Ethel risks her pride in pursuit of an invitation for all three of her daughters―only to see her hopes fulfilled by the wrong one. As an engagement to the future king unfolds, Ethel discovers a sordid secret hidden in the depths of the royal family, forcing her to choose between the security she craves and the wellbeing of the stepdaughter who has rebuffed her at every turn.

As if Bridgerton met Circe, and exhilarating to its core, Lady Tremaine reimagines the myth of the evil stepmother at the heart of the world’s most famous fairy tale. It is a battle cry for a mother’s love for her daughters, and a celebration of women everywhere who make their own fortunes."
