What Books Am I Looking Forward to in April?

Hey all, Sam here.

I have not been great at sticking to a TBR lately. My reading time and my reading mood have been difficult to schedule and predict the past…oh, six months or so. And yet, part of me keeps trying to plan out what I want to read in any given month or season.

So what’s on my Hopeful April TBR?

Well, I guess I should start by looking at what April releases I’ve been approved for on NetGalley.

Holy Terrors by Margaret Owen (April 1), A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett (April 1), Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner (April 1), Don’t Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo (April 8)

Tonight, I Bleed by Katharine J Adams (April 8), The Wind Weaver by Julie Johnson (April 8), The Gentleman and His Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide (April 15), The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (April 15)

The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah (April 15), A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J Penner (April 15), Saint Death’s Herald by C.S.E. Cooney (April 22), Advocate by Daniel M Ford (April 22)

And as if that wasn’t enough, obviously there’s other books I’m hoping to read as well, because April is also Indie April and I’d like to read some of my indie author books, most of which are hanging out on my Kindle currently, and there are so very many of them, and this is where my being a mood reader isn’t really helping me. Because there are so many, I don’t know which ones I want to pick up and read right now.

There’s A LOT here, and this isn’t even all of them. Obviously, even just counting my NetGalley reads, I’m at my average for monthly reads, but I don’t know what I’m going to want to actually read, so I’m giving myself plenty of options.

1st Image: When Life Gives You Legends by Luna Ryder, The Death Bringer by A.M. Eno, A Fellowship of Games & Fables by J. Penner, Shot in the Dark by Mary Dublin and Anne Kendsley, The Call of Chaos by C.M. Aragon, Spellbound Scones by Fleur Devillainy, Shadow Dance by C.K. Andersson, You’ve Got Chain Mail by Sam Parks, Legend of the Quill by Astra Crompton, The Strange Hour by R.G. Wesley, Tarnished by Erica Rose Eberhart, A Crimson Covenant by Aimee Donnellan

2nd Image: The Chronicles of Eynhallow by Mike Rogers and Jonathan Roe, Vanished by Nicole McKeon, Talismans, Teacups, and Trysts by K. Sterling, Phantom & Rook by Aglina Isaacs, The Bartender Between Worlds by Herman Steurnagel, Love Letters & Thirst Tonics by Hailey Blackwood, Unrelenting Winds by Melissa K Roehrich, Cinnamon Rolls & Villainy by Chante A Campbell, Cursed Cocktails by S.L. Rowland, Daindreth’s Assassin by Elizabeth Wheatley, The Fey Hotel by Vermillion H Baine, Between Wrath & Mercy by Jess Wisecup

So, yeah, I have a whole bunch of options when it comes to books to read. I like keeping my options open. I’ve been hoarding books for years, buying up as many as possible when I have a little extra cash for the inevitable time when I end up not really having a lot of extra money…and with the way prices are going up on practically everything, that day may be coming sooner than I’d like.

But I’m still going to keep buying as many books as I can while I still can. It just means my ever-growing TBR just gets even bigger. I’ll keep reading as many books as I can and talking about them to anyone who will listen.

All right, well I think that is all from me for today. Are there any books you’re hoping to read in April? Let me know down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
