March 2024 TBR list: last month I read six books that were all from my monthly TBR list. I’m going with six books once again this month. I set my reading goal at 75 books for this year and have so far read 12 (the Goodreads app says I’m on track). Last month I read all books from series this month I’m going to split my book series reading and catch up on Netgalley books some ARC (Advanced Readers Copies) and some books that I’m behind on.  

Year of The Locust by Terry Hayes is a book that has been my most anticipated book for years now as his follow-up book from the excellent international thriller I Am Pilgrim, but this book has been delayed and delayed constantly. When I read I Am Pilgrim I liked it and instantly looked for more books from the author, and was shocked to see he hasn’t had another book published but had Year of the Locust to be released, that was 6 years now and I finally have a copy of the book thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books. I got approved for this book after it had been published on February 6, 2024. I don’t know too much going on it is an international spy thriller about a spy stuck behind enemy lines who must get the information and get out, but things do not go according to plan as an enemy long thought dead emerges with plans of terrorism.

Ghost Station by S. A. Barnes is a science fiction horror novel about an abandoned planet with a hidden past that hides a deadly danger. This is S.A. Barnes’s second book after Dead Silence that I liked and recommended. I have high hopes as Dead Silence was a good debut with lots of potential. I’m going to read this book early thanks to Netgalley and Tor Publishing Group. Ghost Station will be published on April 9, 2024.

It Watches in the Dark by Jeff Strand is a middle grade novel from a truly twisted mind. I have only read adult books by Jeff Strand and am looking forward to him writing a middle grade novel. Jeff Strand is one of my favorite under-the-radar horror authors that not enough people know about. His horror books are filled with humor and feature deranged characters, so maybe he’s perfect for middle grade readers. The plot is about twins on a canoeing trip with their father goes wrong as the dad gets injured the kids go to help in a village where the townspeople are kind but strange and all everyone wants to talk about is the giant scarecrow that is in the square, and how it watches. I’m reading this early thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks kids. It Watches in the Dark will be published on April 2, 2024.

Void Moon by Michael Connelly is one of those rare stories that does not feature Harry Bosch but features a character from the Harry Bosch Universe. Void Moon is book 9 in the Harry Bosch Universe series; I accidentally skipped this book and am currently on book 12. I like Harry Bosch and want to read and know all the connections. The plot is Cassie Black plans a heist it doesn’t go right now the man that planned it is taking everyone out who knew about it.

Stranger Things: Into the Fire by Jody Howser is the third graphic novel in the Stranger Things Graphic Novel series. This book will take us to season 2 of the show when Kali number 8 was introduced. The story bridges the gap from the last graphic novel Six, where it features the two twins that escaped at the end of that book. I’ve liked the series so far and look forward to the book.

Vampire Breath by R. L. Stine I’m in the final stretches of the original Goosebumps series this is book 49 and I have just 12 to go. In this story two kids discover in a secret room a bottled Vampire Breath, what does it do who knows, but I bet it stinks.
