This month’s top books were great for a variety of reasons. Three books tied for the top spot with a rating of 4.9 stars each: Between, Georgia, Spheres of Influence, and Toxic Prey. Between delivers small-town drama, romance, and mystery in a beautiful narrative. Spheres is a great book for the business professional and provides some great insight into building connections with those around you. But my top book of the month was, by far, Toxic Prey. I have loved the previous two Letty Davenport novels and this crossover between the Letty series and the original Lucas Davenport series was so great! I can’t wait to dig into the Lucas series from the beginning!
April Reading Plan
The April theme is Spring or Flowers! The weekly prompts will be celebrating the season and Earth Day, but also some new beginnings with a brand new release! The final prompt for the month should help us find new authors we can love by looking for a book by an author that shares our last initial.
This month’s prompts for the US States challenge are:
States:
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Kentucky
Other books I’m reading this month:
- 14. Nonfiction: Gung Ho!
- 15. Sponsored: Act of Defiance
- 16. TBR Stack: tbd
- 17. Sponsored: Summers at the Saint
I can’t wait to read these great books with you – keep an eye out for the weekly previews on Sundays for what I’m reviewing each week!
