April is coming up fast, and it’s bringing some awesome books with it. I cannot contain my excitement for so many of the books listed below and it was a struggle to narrow my list down to my top 12. A ton of some of my favorite authors have April releases and I’ve been lucky enough to read a few of this already!

I have copies of 9 of my 12 most anticipated! No advanced copy of the new Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. or Sarah Penner’s newest for me yet; but I’ve already started making my way through this list. I’m currently listening to The Sirens and reading Murder at Gulls Nest, so come back soon to see my reviews. Otherwise, here are reviews of some of the ones I’ve read so far.

Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a dead man) review

Heartwood review

Any Trope but you review

The staircase in the woods review

The Amalfi Curse review

As always, I’ve provided links for each of the books below. If something catches your attention be sure to click the image for more information and the synopsis. Not only do there seem to be a decent number of debuts I’m excited for in April hitting shelves, but there are a couple big name authors such as Sally Hepworth, Emily Henry, TJ Klune, Abby Jimenez, and Laura Griffin with new releases coming. So pull up those TBR’s and get ready to add all the books!

These are just some of the upcoming April releases that I’m excited for. If you keep scrolling there are so many other amazing books coming out soon.
