March must be a big book publication month because I found so many title to put on my Aardvark Book Club predictions list!
So many in fact, you get a bonus list of titles in both my Aardvark and Book of the Month predictions posts!
You can see all of my March 2024 Book of the Month predictions here.
If you aren’t familiar with Aardvark Book Club, you can check out my full review of this subscription service. The basic idea is Aardvark Book Club chooses five books from different genres every month and members can choose their pick when the books go live. You can also add on up to two more books for only $9.99 each.
If you don’t like any of the picks, you can choose to skip and save your credit for the next month, which is honestly the best part of this service to me. I don’t like subscription boxes that only offer one book selection that you don’t know ahead of time. If you are interested in trying Aardvark Book Club, you can use my code READWITHALLISON4 when you checkout at this link to get your first book for only $4!
As usual, these are just my opinions and my predictions. It is fine if you disagree or think the predictions are terrible-we all have different reading tastes. Please remember to be kind in comments or messages because we are all readers with different tastes!
Mystery Prediction
The Stars Turned Inside Out by Nova Jacobs
Release Date: March 19, 2024
The discovery of a suspicious death at a famous Swiss physics laboratory sparks a mystery that merges science, philosophy, and the high-stakes race to unlock the fundamental nature of our universe in this thrilling new novel from the Edgar Award–nominated author of the “hugely entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) The Last Equation of Isaac Severy.
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
This is listed as both a cozy mystery and literary fiction, which seems like a good fit for Aardvark Book Club!
Thriller Prediction
Baby X by Kira Peikoff
Release Date: March 5, 2024
When any biological matter can be used to create life, stolen celebrity DNA sells to the highest bidder–or the craziest stalker–in this propulsive thriller. With a vivid imagining of the future, Gattaca meets Black Mirror in Kira Peikoff’s Baby X.
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
The sci-fi element to this thriller seems like the kind of thriller Aardvark would pick!
Romance Predications
A Governess’s Guide to Passion and Peril by Manda Collins
Release date: March 26, 2024
Two friends reunite—and discover hidden feelings—while investigating a murder in this sensual, witty historical romance perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore and Netflix’s Bridgerton!
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
Aardvark picked the first book in this series and they’ve already shown they will be carrying repeat authors. The late month release date does have me thinking it could show up as an April pick though.
Happily Never After by Lynn Painter
Release date: March 12, 2024
Their name? The objectors.
Their job? To break off weddings as hired.
Their dilemma? They might just be in love with each other.
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
Aardvark Book Club loves to feature a good rom-com for their romance pick!
Literary Fiction Predictions
Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi
Release Date: March 5, 2024
An adventurous, kaleidoscopic novel, Parasol Against the Axe considers the lines between illusion and delusion, fact and interpretation, and weighs the risks of attaching too firmly to the stories of a place, or a person, or a shared history. How much is a tale influenced by its reader, or vice versa? And finally, in a battle between friends, is it better to be the parasol or the axe?
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
Love this cover and the synopsis sounds like the kind mind-bending pick Aardvark picks!
Fruit of the Dead by Rachel Lyon
Release date: March 5, 2024
Debut Author
An electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer on a lush private island, about addiction and sex, family and independence, and who holds the power in a modern underworld.
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
This is 100% an Aardvark Book Club cover vibe.
Contemporary Fiction Prediction
Sylvia’s Second Act by Hillary Yablon
Release date: March 12, 2024
Debut Author
Her husband’s cheating on her. She hates Boca. Sylvia is mad and she isn’t going to take it anymore. She’s moving back north, to the city of her dreams—with her best friend, Evie, in tow. Think a screwball comedy featuring a sophisticated Thelma and Louise with martinis in hand . . .
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
This is a debut author, so I think that makes it a perfect contender for March’s Aardvark Book Club picks.
Horror Prediction
Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk
Release date: March 5, 2024
Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them rest. A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin America’s feminist Gothic.
Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
“Genre-blending novel” is right up Aardvark Book Club’s alley!

The Day Tripper by James Goodhand (literary fiction/romance)
The Invisible Hotel by Yeji Y. Ham (literary fiction)
Say Hello to My Little Friend by Jennine Capó Crucet (humor/literary fiction)
