Good Morning Lovelies, 

With March arriving and the feeling of Spring in the air, I’ve decided to go with a few themed and lighter books for March. Even when they may seem a little dark, they will actually make you feel so much better!

All of the books will be on display at Hertford Library for you to take out, so if you like the look of them definitely pop down and grab them lovelies! It’s time to embrace these much-loved March novels…

Barbie and Ruth by Robin Gerber: With World Barbie Day being on the 9th March, this book will make you see the story behind the most famous doll in the world in a new light. From humble beginnings to her gigantic rise to fame, find out how we all came to get Barbie fever. 

Bridget Jones Baby by Helen Fielding: Last month, I picked the original story in this trilogy. Now, in honour of Mother’s Day, I have selected the very funny third book, which captures Bridget’s journey as a mum. 

The Cosy Cottage in Dublin by Julie Caplin: St Patrick’s Day fulls on the 17th March and as you all know I love Ireland. It is the country that owns my heart! When I need a little Irish fix, I always turn to this charming book to fill my heart up again. 

Black Cake by Charlene Wilkerson: I spotted this book after watching the new Disney Plus series based on it. When a family is torn apart by the death of their mother, everyone reacts differently, as they come to learn more about her that they never knew.

Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald: Love Greek mythology? This new YA novel will leave you yearning to know more about the gods! Turning everything we thought we knew about them on their heads, this new series is one of love, action and pink perfection.

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt: Spring is the perfect time for a clean up, however, the cleaner in this book gets more than she expects. When a detective starts looking into the mysterious disappeared of her son twenty years ago, the cleaner uncovers more than just dust amongst the pages. 

Best Book of the Month: Fourteen Days by Margaret Atwood and Multiple Authors: Over the course of fourteen amazing authors voices, this book tells the story of the occupants within a housing complex. All dealing with the effects of COVID! It’s a heart wrenching, open novel that will have you crying, laughing and appreciating each author even more.
