What I’m Reading in March 2026 | Monthly TBR & Reading Goals
The March 2026 TBR video outlines a deliberately eclectic reading slate, blending four fantasy titles—including the ongoing Raymond Feist Riftwar read‑along—with a classic horror‑gothic novel and a western finale. The host emphasizes community involvement, inviting viewers to join a Discord‑based read‑through of Feist’s Silverthorn while also coordinating a quarterly book‑club session featuring Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. Key insights include a strategic genre rotation: fantasy remains the backbone, but the channel deliberately steps outside its comfort zone by revisiting a beloved vampire saga and tackling Larry McMurtry’s Comanche Moon, the concluding volume of the Lonesome Dove series. The host notes personal expectations—such as hoping for more Pug‑centric narrative in Feist’s work—and frames the selections as both personal challenges and audience‑driven experiments. Notable moments feature the host’s candid admission of “arms crossed” skepticism about new characters, his reverence for Anne Rice as a top‑10 author, and the bittersweet anticipation of closing the western arc. He also highlights the collaborative nature of the book club, where three fellow creators will dissect Rice’s philosophical themes, and he teases an upcoming science‑fiction segment that remains unrevealed. The broader implication is a clear strategy to deepen viewer engagement through interactive read‑alongs, diversify content to attract varied literary interests, and position the channel as a hub for community‑driven literary discourse, potentially influencing sales and visibility for the featured titles.
