Luck Of The Bookish: March Releases

Hey Y’all! I can’t even believe that another month is almost here but even more so than that…IT’S MY BIRTHDAY MONTHHHHHHHHH (dang, time really flies)! Okay, I just had to get that out! On top of it being the best month (I said what I said), it is a REALLY good month for new book releases! I think a lot of us will be praying for a windfall (or a good tax return) to cover the books we may want to purchase this month! Also, don’t forget that the library is an option should purchasing not be on the table, requesting books still supports the authors!
