The Most Read Books on Goodreads in March 2026

This is a new type of youth story. A work that incorporates a little bit of the realism of Sally Rooney and the strangeness of Otessa Moshfe. Vicky is our main character. Her obsession with death led her from living above a funeral home in New York’s Chinatown to working at a start-up company that makes custom urns. She may have a hard time connecting with people other than her only friend, Jen, because she is well aware of the fragility of all things. But then she shook the table. The dating app Scales led me to relationships with a group that included artists and union organizers. The love she receives from Dynamic suits her very well, but soon doubts creep in.

If Talia Hibbert doesn’t have any fans, I’m done. Seriously, her Brown Sisters trilogy was as soul-strengthening as it was hot, and this latest installment promises to be no different. The film features Ruth Cava, who is autistic, nerdy, a little cranky, and a bit of an outcast in her small town. Then a confident Evan Miller arrives in town and becomes Ruth’s neighbor, and she thinks he might be like her. But she’s been hurt before, and we don’t know if this time will be different.

After reading a gorgeous and light science fiction novel This is how you lose the time war. I will read any book by Amal El Mortal. This collection by her is filled with award-winning stories told through letters, folktales, poetry, and even diaries. Each piece offers a glimpse into a fairy tale world with plenty of bite.

In January, the television series His & Hers, based on Alice Feeney’s book of the same name, began airing. A few weeks later, Feeney’s new thriller was released, so it’s no wonder it got a lot of attention. The story is that one day when you come home, you find that the lock doesn’t fit, and the woman who opens the door claims to be your husband’s wife. It promises to be a “heart-tugging marriage thriller.” This article was read by 73,000 Goodreads users in March, with an average rating of 4.1.
