New Releases for April

Happy April, everyone! I love April. Flowers are blooming, the weather is warming up, and it’s my daughter’s birthday month. She will be 10 this year and is so excited to be double digits. :) Mini-Me, as I affectionately call her, LOVES to read and it is a rare sight when she does not have her nose in a book. As a voracious reader myself, is it any wonder I gave her that nickname?!

Speaking of reading, there are a ton of great books out this month! One April book that I HIGHLY recommend is Three Weeks with Lady X by Eloisa James. It is my favorite of hers (right next to Pleasure for Pleasure) and went straight to my keeper shelf. Seriously, pick it up. You won’t be disappointed. (You can check out PJ’s awesome review here.) I have also read Vanessa Kelly’s Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom and LOVED it! So, these two books should definitely be on your list of books to buy. Right now I am reading Between the Devil and Ian Eversea by Julie Anne Long and loving it! So, so good. I’m thinking it might need to be on your list, too.

Which April releases have you read? Of those, which ones do you recommend? Which ones are you most looking forward to reading? Tell us and one lucky commenter will win a random book from my prize stash!

Until May, happy reading!
