I am...very late in putting this out seeing as we are encroaching on halfway through the month. I ended up pushing books to the side for the moment as all my attention is on a video game, but I finally set aside some time to compile this list. This month were are back on track with more fantasy releases than any other genre. Something I am particularly happy about is that there are not one but two books on this list about pirates and the high seas.
Without further ado, here are the March 2023 releases that are on my radar!
