March is an EPIC month for new SFF releases! I’m listing fifteen books I’d love to read, but there are many more that I don’t have review copies for. I won’t be able to read all of these this month, but I will try! Here are the books on my plate this month:
Full disclosure, the first three books are my most highly anticipated books of March. And the most most highly anticipated one is Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey. I have a physical review copy on the way, but I’m not sure when UPS is going to be able to get up to my house with all the snow, so I may dive into the eARC before it arrives.
Rubicon by J.S. Dewes is already getting tons of great reviews, and I can hardly wait to read the follow-up to her amazing duology The Divide.
Hel’s Eight by Stark Holborn is the sequel to the amazing Ten Low, and I am super excited to get back into that world!
I’m always up for a new Catriona Ward book, so I’m thrilled The Girl From Rawblood is being reissued from Poisoned Pen Press. This sounds like a dark, historical horror story, can’t wait!
A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher. Kingfisher is so prolific these days, thankfully for all her fans! This appears to be a gothic family story about a house that’s not quite right…
The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill by Rowenna Miller. I’m very much looking forward to reading another book from this author, and this sounds really good.
Moths by Jane Hennigan is a dystopian thriller that has some unique sounding elements, and I’m eager to try it:-)
Travel by Bullet by John Scalzi is the third book in his entertaining SF series.
I just received a copy of The Strange by Nathan Ballingrud, and it sounds so good. A “quest for revenge” that takes place on Mars!
I have quite a few novellas in my pile, and Feed Them Silence is one of them. This is getting some good reviews, and I’ll be reading it soon.
I’ve been hearing great things about Lone Women by Victor LaValle. This is yet another historical horror story.
Dead Country by Max Gladstone. It’s been a while since I’ve read Max Gladstone! This appears to be a spin-off series of Gladstone’s Craft Sequence, and the main character in this book is Tara Abernathy from Three Parts Dead. I’m so curious about this one!
The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older is another novella, and is described as a murder mystery and sapphic romance set on Jupiter. Could be fun!
The Lies of the Ajungo by Moses Ose Utomi, is yet another novella that is getting great reviews.
Finally, Hospital by Han Song has some very low ratings on Goodreads (since I accepted a review copy). It makes me a little nervous, but I guess we’ll find out how it works for me!
Thanks to Orbit and NetGalley I was able to read Infinity Gate and I can tell you is that you’re in for an amazing journey: previous experience with MR Carey’s work assured me that I would not be disappointed, by this new series goes beyond my expectations. Happy reading! 🙂

I can’t wait to dive into Infinity Gate, and I’m so happy you loved it!
Wow, just looked at your instagram photo of the snow and icicles. I haven’t seen snow like that since I lived in New England. I remember using icicles like popsicles. 🙂 Looks like you have lots of good reading to do while stuck at home. Hope all’s well!
Don’t tell anyone, but I broke off an icicle and it’s still in my freezer, lol.
An amazing line-up for March – right now there are SO MANY awesome reads coming down the line! I hope you enjoy Travel By Bullet as much as I did. I listened to an audiobook version and thoroughly enjoyed it. And I also have Infinity Gate and am very much looking forward to getting to it – and have just nicked across and requested The Strange, having seen it in your listing:)). Thank you for sharing, Tammy:).
I hope we both enjoy all our books this month:-)
Dead Country is on my list, too. I’m hoping to score a review copy from Edelweiss. I really enjoyed the Craft Sequence series!
I never finished the Craft Sequence but I am curious about Dead Country:-)
wow, BIG plate!
Lots of prolific authors here. I’m like, what, already a new one, and I haven’t read the previous one they published and that I wanted to try!
Thanks for giving the Goodreads link for all these, so easy to check. I have opened 6 tabs, on my way to check now!
Have fun with all these!

Thanks Emma!
I gasped at seeing the new A House With Good Bones on your list because I really wanna hear your thoughts on it before I read it. 😀

I’ll try to read it soon!
That Kingfisher book is a hoot, but I really was not a fan of Prospect Hill. I thought it was too long, and the characters are so so irritating. I really hope you like it more than I did!
Oh wow, that’s slightly disappointing to hear, but I will give it a try and see:-)
We definitely have a few in common! I plan to read the M. R. Carey and T. Kingfsher books for sure, and also Lone Women.I listened to the Dispatcher book when the audio was released — the series is so much fun. Enjoy!
Thanks Lisa, I hope we both have a great month:-)
Moths, hm, I wonder what that’s all about?

LOL we shall find out.
I look forward to your thoughts as I have none of these on my list. Although I would like to pick up Travel by Bullet.
I’m hoping to start Travel by Bullet soon.
I can’t wait to read more from T. Kingfisher!
Me too, I’m always up for one of her books.
Some interesting looking reads, hope you enjoy them all!

Thanks Stormi!
So many of these look good. I need to up my game lol or I’ll never get to even half of the books I wanna read!!
I hope The Writing Retreat is good!

It was good! Silly at times but still fun.
Looks like you have a lot of great books to choose from this month. I hope they’re all winners for you!
Me too, I definitely have lots of choices:-)
I hope Infinity Gate works for you! I had high hopes for it, and was giddy when I got approved, but I ultimately DNF it. Not a bad book, only a bit on the hard-sci-fi side, plus I wasn’t vibing with the second lead.
I’ve read and loved a couple of Tchaikovsky novellas – maybe I’ll venture to read some of his other books as well, though they sound a bit too fantasy for my tastes.
Roberta R. recently posted…Offbeat Offline: February 2023
I haven’t read Tchaikovsky in a while, I need to read some of his newer books.
I was thinking Hospital had an interesting cover. I just accepted an egalley of a book that I found only low reviews on, but it still sounds good, so I’m going to give it a try, even with some misgivings like you have about that one. Hope you do end up enjoying all these and I’ll be watching for your reviews!

That’s how I feel too, it sounds really good so why not give it a chance?
That’s an insanely awesome TBR, Tammy! I’m curious about Carey’s new novel. I hope you have a blast working your way through these though! 😀
Thanks Lashaan:-)
I don’t read SFF usually but you are right that March is a big month Tammy!!
I wish the month were even longer so I could read more of these:-)
Infinity Gate had totally slipped by me until I saw your IG post. I obviously need it!!
You do need it!!
I’ve got a lot of these on my own list! Looks like a great month for sci-fi with both Rubicon and Infinity Gate being my most anticipated reads for March.
I have high hopes for both of those!
I hope you enjoy all of them.
