Let’s Talk Bookish — March 2026 Topics

Happy Saturday, book lovers! Apologies for getting these topics up much later than usual, but we’ve still made it at the end of February! 😅 Honestly, this month was a lot more chaotic than anticipated but we made it through! Here’s what’s in store for the ✨March 2026 LTB Topics!✨

What’s Let’s Talk Bookish?

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly (Friday) meme originally created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and co-hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits and me (Dini @dinipandareads)! In this bookish discussion meme, bloggers get to discuss certain topics, share opinions, and spread love by visiting each other’s posts.

You can find an archive of topics HERE!

Thanks to Leslie and Alli for contributing two of March’s topics! The others are suggested by Aria and me. If you have a topic you’d like to share (even if you don’t join LTB), you can fill in the Google form at the end of this post!

March 6: Women Who’ve Shaped Your Reading Life

Prompts: March is Women’s History Month and March 8 is also International Women’s Day. 💜 In honour of this month celebrating women, let’s talk about the women who’ve shaped our reading lives. Was there (or is there) a woman in your life who sparked your love for reading? Who was the first woman author you remember loving? Do you tend to read more books by women authors and do you think that’s for a reason?

March 13: Immersive Reading (suggested by Leslie @ Books Are the New Black)

Prompts: Immersive reading is when you simultaneously listen to an audiobook while reading the physical or digital book. Do you do any immersive reading? Do you prefer it or is it not for you? Do you think it’s a good way to get everything from a book? Is there a genre that is better to do this with? What are your recommendations for immersive reading?

March 20: Portrayals of Women in Books

Prompts: We’ve previously talked about underrepresented women and women in STEM in books, but let’s take a look at portrayals of women in books. Do you think portrayals of women have changed over time? Are ambitious women portrayed differently than ambitious men? Are “unlikable” female characters judged more harshly? Are girls and women written more complexly in books today? Share some of your favourite books featuring complex empowered women being unapologetically themselves!

March 27: Right Book, Right Time? Reading for the Season You’re In (suggested by Alli @ Alli the Book Giraffe)

Prompts: Do you prefer reading about characters who are in a similar life stage as you (age, career, relationships, etc.)? Has your preference changed as you’ve gotten older? Have you ever re-read a book and experienced it completely differently because you were in a different stage of life? Do you think books come into our lives at the ‘right time’ and are there any books you think you’d feel differently about if you were younger or older?
