I am excited to start off my reading this month in Japan. Shiokari Pass takes place here and it will have to suffice because my real life travel plans to Kyoto this month had to be canceled. I am having too many back problems right now and can't travel. Shiokari Pass was written in 1968 by Ayako Miura and was translated into English in 1989 by the Overseas Missionary Fellowship. It is based on the true story of Nagano Masao, a Christian railway employee who sacrificed his life to save passengers in Hokkaido. Next, I will be in Shanghai with Janie Chang's The Fourth Princess and then in Afghanistan for The Dressmaker of Khair Khana. Finally, I will be in Calcutta in the 1920s with Sujatta Massey's Star of Calcutta. This is the newest Perveen Mistry historical mystery.
As usual, I will be reading some mysteries. Laura Childs has a new book coming out on March 10. Her Indigo Teashop Mystery series takes place in Charleston and the new book is Death at a Firefly Tea. Emily Bain Murphy's The Ivory City takes place at rhe 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. With five of my favorite authors publishing their 2026 novels and reading challenge requirements to comply with, March is going to be a month of heavy reading for me.
Where are you traveling this month?
