I’m sure many of us are looking forward to a whole new month of reading, and who wouldn’t? There are a bunch of noteworthy books to be released this April (check them out in Amazon) and I’m sure our heap/pile/stack/mountainous TBR list will once more be bombarded with additions. I guess I’m speaking for myself but I’m sure many can relate ;)
Before we start a whole new month though, I’d like to share some of the books that were released (new and reprinted) last month that some of you might have missed. As always, all links below lead to the book’s Goodreads page.
