The Best Green Books to Read in March
March, and more so St. Patrick’s Day, is all about green and the start of spring. What better way to celebrate than by picking up a book with a green cover? Whether you’re in the mood for romance, fantasy, historical fiction, or a thrilling mystery, there’s a green book waiting to sweep you away. Here are some of my top picks:
Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey (Romance)
This book is so good! A grumpy-sunshine golf romance where a washed-up pro, Wells, and his biggest fangirl, Josephine, navigate a chance at both love and career. The chemistry is fantastic, and the slow burn is incredibly satisfying. I loved how the conflict was handled and how the characters evolved. Golf romance for the win!
Weyward by Emilia Hart (Historical Fiction)
A beautifully woven story of three resilient women across different time periods—1619, 1942, and 2019—all connected by a deep-rooted history of strength, magic, and survival. The way their narratives intertwine is masterful, making this an emotional yet never dull read. If you love historical women’s fiction with themes of resilience and connection, this one is a must-read.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Fiction)
A glamorous, scandalous, and thought-provoking story of Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo, who finally shares her life story with an unsuspecting journalist. Evelyn’s life is enthralling, and the mixed-media snippets add a fun twist to the storytelling. The writing has a comforting yet impactful tone, making this book one that stays with you long after you’ve finished it.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins (Young Adult)
This Hunger Games prequel is gripping from start to finish. Watching Snow’s transformation into the villain we know is both fascinating and chilling. It also provides deeper insight into the origins of the Games and the early roots of the resistance. The way Lucy Gray’s story mirrors Katniss’s adds another layer of intrigue. I think about this book often—it’s that good.
Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson (Fantasy)
This book is funny and whimsical, with fantastic world-building that fits seamlessly into the greater Cosmere. While it leans a bit YA, it still delivers as a charming, grown-up fairy tale. The concept of spore-infested seas is unique and captivating, making it a must-read for fantasy lovers.
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore (Thriller)
This thriller is brilliantly crafted, seamlessly weaving multiple time periods and narrators. When a girl disappears from a summer camp in 1975—the same camp where her brother vanished years earlier—the story unravels into a gripping mystery full of secrets. The twists had me gasping, and I kept thinking, “Why didn’t I see that coming?” This book just flows so wonderfully, making it one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a while.
No matter your reading preference, there’s a green book on this list to enjoy this St. Patrick’s Day. Which one are you picking up first?
