Hi, friends!
Here are the April book releases that I’m really looking forward to. I plan to watch out for these titles at the library or in book deals. My personal favorite place to look for reviews on new books is Kirkus Reviews. In this post, I will include the book cover, link to the review, genre, audience, and brief comment from the Kirkus review. Maybe you will add some of these books to your list!
