Spring is just around the corner, but instead of cleaning out my TBR, I’m endlessly filling it up with ever more exhilarating books. March promises plenty of fiction and nonfiction alike, and my list of anticipated books is pretty full this month. More than ever, I just want to escape to far-flung locations and eras, and the upcoming March publications I’m most excited for reflect this wanderlust. From books set in the Middle East and Africa to Central America, from stories set in the early Middle Ages to now, the best that March has to offer covers a wide range of settings, cultures, topics, and protagonists. I can’t wait to dive in!
For this list, I’ve aimed to include a variety of genres and authors. From inspiring YA fiction and historical fantasies to hard-hitting nonfiction and contemporary thrillers, I hope something here will pique your interest! Here are 46 great new books set for publication in March 2021.
