March 2026 Reading List

I am now 3 months into my 175 book reading challenge. I am currently 2 books behind so, I am hoping for some warm, porch reading weather. I actually read 16 books this month and I am already 3 books into April. Teaching your children to read by themselves, quietly – the drop everything and read attitude – is SO important. Reading is a way to escape, reset, relax and fill a beautiful sunny day.
