New Book Releases: March 2nd to March 8th, 2026

Ah, let’s March into a new week together, yes?

I’m in a great mood, because spring is nearly here, the days are longer, summer is basically just a promise away and there are more than 450 new books releasing.

I’ll fill ya in on 5 and Vince will take you through another 10 on our podcast.

New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn returns with A Ghastly Catastrophe on March 3rd! The 10th installment of the “Veronica Speedwell” series.

Be careful what you wish for! While Veronica and Stoker are looking for a new adventure, they wind up taking on a secret society and a seductive duo! It begins when an “entitled young man is found entirely drained of blood in a carriage next to Highgate Cemetery,” followed by the death of another young man “made to look like a suicide.” And the pair share only one link – a secret society no one can find mention of. Veronica and Stoker will need to unravel the mystery before they become hunted themselves.

Something Prowling in Paradise Park is the 7th book in Kris Bock ‘s “Accidental Detective” series, on shelves March 2nd!

Retirement is proving anything but for Kate Tessler. Her new life, including earning her PI license, has brought friends, colleagues, but also murder and mayhem. Three new cases have been brought to her door – and she soon suspects that two could be connected. From smash and grab burglaries, to a stakeout leading straight to a body, Kate will have to determine if these things are accidents – or something far worse.

The 6th book in the “Toronto Terror” series by New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is almost here! If You Keep Me will be on shelves March 5th.

Tally has done the one thing she knew she should never do: proposition Flip Madden (the most notorious and reformed playboy in pro-hockey). She’s asked him to take her virginity. Even though Flip says no – given their age gap, and she being his Coach’s oldest daughter – he’s become more protective, bringing flowers to her recitals, and allowing his eyes to follow her around in every room.

On March 3rd, R.L. Stine delivers book 6 of the “Goosebumps House of Shivers” with One Night at Camp Bigfoot!

Uncle Squatch runs Camp Bigfoot where siblings Harper and Dylan are spending their summer. The camp has everything – from wooden cabins and forest trails, and Uncle Squatch who likes to wear a Bigfoot costume and scare everyone. But now panic has settled over the camp when Bigfoot is spotted over the full moon. Was it Uncle Squatch – or the real Bigfoot himself?

New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery is back with The Bookstore Diaries on March 3rd!

The Painted Lady Bookstore is about to get a lot more “colorful and chaotic.” For Jax, inheriting the Victorian-mansion turned bookstore has meant living the “bookworm dream” until an accident occurs. The Bookshop lockboxes have had their names erased, and the contents inside are the town’s diaries. The only way to determine who’s is who’s is to read them – and that will mean secrets will spill and scandals will surface.
