Can you believe that March is here already? Thinking of the third month of the year brings trilogies to my mind. I think 3 book series are the best of all worlds- if you fall in love with the first book, there’s still more to enjoy, but it’s not so overwhelming as taking on a series with double digit titles. Below is a list of some great trilogies in a variety of genres that could keep you happily reading throughout the month!
