The Most Read Books on Goodreads in March
Welcome to The Best of Book Riot, our daily round-up of what’s on offer across our site, newsletters, podcasts and social channels. Not everything is for everyone, but there is something for everyone.
I’ll give you a guess to identify the most read book on Goodreads in March. This is the inspiration behind the hit film of the moment, which has propelled this 2021 novel to the top of the bestseller lists again.
In April, I’m looking forward to Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon on April 18-19. I have been attending twice a year for over ten years! It’s a good excuse to clear the calendar as much as possible and prioritize reading — and, just as importantly, snacks. I have a pile of comics, novels, and other quick reads that I’ve put together for then.

I know we’re all under a little stress these days, so I’ve divided this list into two parts. The first part focuses on more light-hearted stories about the beauty of nature and the importance of maintaining balance. The second part features deeper stories about the urgency and consequences of climate change and environmental destruction.
April is the month horror fans have been waiting for. Many of the most anticipated horror novels of the year are coming out this month. We’re getting new scream-worthy books from some of our favorite contemporary horror authors, including Clay McLeod Chapman, Kylie Lee Baker, Marcus Cleaver, and Monica Kim. We’re also getting some incredibly scary debut novels from exciting new horror authors. So make sure you take some time to read this spring.
I’m really excited to share a guest article this week. Sienna Oristaglio is here to talk about one of the important projects taking place Library Futures It is intended to help library workers think about the realities of book censorship in 2020 America. For library workers, Library Futures is an important resource with insights and tools that explore the intersections of libraries, technology, and policy. Readers who are not library staff will also appreciate the work being done through Library Futures – the organization fighting for your rights to fair access to digital resources in libraries across the country.
