Wondering what to read now? If you’re looking for book suggestions, look no further! Here are all the hot new March 2020 book releases for you. I’ll let you know what I’ve read, what I can’t wait to read, and what’s getting all the attention this month.
Last month, I struggled to find enough decent titles to fill out my new release list. That wasn’t a problem this month. Quite the opposite, I found more exciting March 2020 book releases than I thought possible.
Seriously, every publishing house must have saved their best books for March, because I am blown away by the quality of the titles this month. I expect March will have more books on the best of the year lists than any other month.
Just take a peek at this month’s highlights:
- The much-anticipated new book from the author of Station Eleven
- A new fantasy series from Sarah J. Maas
- A five-star historical fiction novel in the running for my top book of the year
- Nonfiction books from big names – Carrie Underwood, Dave Hollis, and Anne Bogel

Project 333
Courtney Carver
While her method is solid, I’m not 100% sure Project 333 needed a full book to explain the concept. However, Carver does a great job filling up space without making you feel like she’s just filling up space. She dives into the minimalist mindset and motivation and then sets you at ease that you won’t miss your overstuffed closet. Whether you pick up the book or just check out her blog, Project 333 is a great minimalist experiment to try. Read more →

In Five Years
Rebecca Serle
Last year, I read her first book, The Dinner List, and felt it was rather self-indulgent. While I still think her writing could use some work, I was extremely impressed with the progress she has made with In Five Years. I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next. Read more →

What March 2020 book releases are you most excited to read?
Oooh, glad to hear your thoughts on Darling Rose Gold. I’m intrigued by the premise, but also kinda hesitant to try it since I don’t love Manipulative Mom stories, but if you didn’t like this one very much, it’s a Must-Skip for me, haha.
Pleasantly surprised to hear you liked In Five Years! I feel like that theme is overdone in literature/movies, but it sounds like the author pulled this one off and managed to make it stand out a bit. Might be worth picking up.. 🙂
I’m really interested in reading My Dark Vanessa. What an interesting premise given all the allegations that come out lately in the media, and the power given to women’s voices with #metoo. Sounds like an intriguing read!!
I think my problem with Darling Rose Gold is that the mom wasn’t manipulative enough. You knew right away were both the mom and Rose Gold stood, there wasn’t enough suspense.
I wish people would do their research when writing about historical people. Nancy Wake was not an Australian expat, but rather a New Zealand expat! Book looks intriguing anyway given this mistake., so might have to keep an eye out for it.
Oh, that mistake was all mine, not the author’s. Thanks for catching it. I fixed it in the description. The book is great, and you should definitely check it out if you have the chance.
Great round-up! I’m actually really looking forward to reading Rose Gold (though a little confused by the various titles it’s been given in various regions – it’s The Recovery Of Rose Gold here, but Darling Rose Gold in other places? Why?), and Anna K and My Dark Vanessa both sound great!
The Recovery of Rose Gold just doesn’t sound as compelling. I wonder why they switched it.
