Announcing the March 2026 LibraryReads List

“Roz and Vin have been married 8 years, but a terrible accident ripped their lives apart and left them reeling. This story is their slow journey back to one another. No tropes here—this romance is quiet and ordinary, and in that it’s so powerful. It’s a beautiful exploration of how even the strongest relationship can fracture, and how we repair and recover from damage. It’s also a love letter to drawing and art, to storytelling and friendships, to how we care for and harm each other.”—Nyssa Fleig, Salt Lake County Library, UT
NoveList read-alike: Left of Forever by Tara DeWitt

“Three wives of convicted killers, fighting the guilt that they didn’t know what was happening with their husbands, band together to search for a killer. Continuing the trend of stories of brave women who aren’t taken seriously, this tightly woven crime novel has a bang of an ending.”—Kimberly McGee, Lake Travis Community Library, Austin TX

NoveList read-alike: Good Husbands by Cate Ray

“A compelling fictionalized story based on the life of Gibson Girl and Gilded Age “It Girl,” Evelyn Nesbit. The author writes masterful historical fiction that illuminates exceptional women: their lives, their hopes, their triumphs and downfalls. Highly recommended!”—Karen Troutman, LibraryReads Ambassador, IN

NoveList read-alike: Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures by Emma Straub

“Haunting and atmospheric, this gothic tale of necromancy, revenge, and forbidden love will draw readers in. Lush writing, eerie vibes, and a heroine torn between duty and desire. Darkly beautiful.”—Emily Snodgrass, Rogers Public Library, AR
NoveList read-alike: The Bone Orchard by Sarah A. Mueller
