March Recap 2026
This past month, I got quite a bit of reading done, however, I have been lacking in posting anything at all. I will try to get caught up more next month! Here’s some of my thoughts on the books that I read this past month!
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott- This book felt long and very slow in the beginning until about halfway through the book. I felt like the conflict didn’t really start until way late in the story and could have been more involved earlier on to give more conflict and more explanation.
One Little Chance by Rebecca Jo Jackson- This book was delightful to read. Clean and fun romance story. I will do a full review on this book later this month!
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid- I got about halfway through this book and discontinued it. It wasn’t the right book for me. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend reading this one, but up to you. If you’re thinking about reading this one, I would recommend reading through the summary of the story beforehand.
Emma M. Lion #8 by Beth Brower- Everyone raves about these books. For me, it just felt like another story.
When in Rome by Sarah Adams- This story did have some spice in it, but it is considered to be a closed door book. I enjoyed this one because it was small town vibes and had a lot of good bantering in the dialogue. I read all of Sarah Adams books in this series before this one (the first one) and I was still able to follow the stories well.
The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel- This was such a fast audiobook to listen to! I highly recommend reading or listening to this one! It mostly talks about how “enough is not too little” and “wealth is income not spent”. I would do a longer review on this one, however, since I listened to it, I don’t have as many quotes picked out that I would talk about. Maybe if I ever read it again I will.
Creating a Tech-Healthy Family by Andrea Davis- This book I did not plan to read for the month of March, however, it was short enough I decided to add it in mid-month. Davis has some great outlines on creating healthy habits with your kids and makes it less of a restriction and more of a goal-oriented topic. I do want to mention though that some content is repetitive. The one thing I liked from this book was how we want to be “masters of technology” and not a slave to it. This creates an open space for setting goals instead of being reactive to the things we see on technology.
The Power of Fun by Catherine Price- I had such a blast reading through this book! I felt like it was a more intriguing self-help book than most! I will probably be doing a full review on this one at a later date so watch out for that this coming month! The main reason I loved this book so much was because it talks about how to have “True Fun” and how we need to make space for those things in our lives that will bring true joy. This author also wrote a book, How to Break Up With Your Phone, and it has similar ideas to how to spend less time on your phone.
Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman- For a self-help book, this had a lot of bigger words and a lot of names of people I didn’t recognize. I still enjoyed a lot of this book and have several key points to take away from it so I will do a longer review later this month as well! One thing I did love about this book was how it talks about our problems by saying: “…the state of having no problems is never going to arrive. And more to the point, you wouldn’t want it to, because a life devoid of all problems would contain nothing worth doing, and would therefore be meaningless” (Page 180).
Let me know if you have any questions about this month’s books! I will do my best to answer them. Don’t forget to check out what I am reading in April! I hope to see you around! Happy Easter soon!
