Tripping Over April
I always have a hard time putting together these posts, guys, because I want to tell you about ALL the books coming out each month because they all sound so great. Alas. But these books here–my most anticipated books coming out this April–are just a good sampling of the super stories that are on tap for us this month. You know what else gets me STOKED for April? LOOK AT ALL THE MIDDLE GRADE. *dies* (Also, re: the pictures–I’ve been spending too much time on Pic Monkey. Forgive me.)

My love for this series is hopefully well known by now because it’s INTENSE. IN. TENSE. I’ve read this one already and will be reviewing it as soon as I can gather my thoughts and polish them into something more than “OMFGLOVEFOREVERAHHHAMAZINGBESTEVER.” (April 2 from Houghton Mifflin Children’s)
Woo hoo!! I’m really excited to see what happens next to this crazy group of Prince Charmings and their ladies, who are all pretty badass themselves. At least the ones we know well, anyway. (April 30 from Walden Pond Press)
This book just sounds so charming and adventurous and fun. I have a soft spot for origin stories, and Rumplestiltskin is a character who intrigues me. He’s one of the darker fairy tale creatures, even when he’s sanitized and on a Xanax or two, so I’m really curious about how Liesl Shurtliff has constructed his youth. (April 9 from Alfred Knopf)
I keep talking about this book, friends, because I’m really looking forward to it. I love a good middle grade fantasy, and this one sounds like it fits the bill. Look at that all that ghostly mist on the cover! (April 9 from Delacorte)
I’m a big fan of Jennifer E. Smith’s books, so I’m really excited about this one. It sounds cute and full of feels, plus there’s a beach town in Maine. LOVE THOSE. (April 2 from Poppy)
I seriously, seriously just need to go read Grave Mercy. Like right now. And I can’t wait for The Flame in the Mist, eep! And Rump!
Oh I totally feel your need to love on all the books, friend. That’s why my monthly With Bated Breath posts have totally devolved into a flat out list of awesomeness opposed to me talking about every one–there’s just too much goodness. I CANNOT WAIT for Dark Mercy. But I’ll have to because I’m poor, and will wait for it at the library for PROBABLY MONTHS. *cries* Avoiding everyone’s reviews in the meantime to go in blind. Can’t wait for you to read the new Hero’s Guide, I really enjoyed it, though admittedly not quite as much as the first. Also Rump looks so adorable, I can’t handle it. Have you seen the trailer? It was my favorite this month, cute animation.
