I showed some restraint in book purchases this month. I know it may not look like it from how many books are in this post, but I swear I didn’t buy that many books in April. A majority of these were pre-ordered a long time ago… So, they don’t count. 😉 Anyway. I got some great stuff in April, including quite a few of my highly anticipated releases (Otherworldly, The Living Force, The Familiar, & Funny Story).
You can see everything I added to my shelves down below. The book covers link to Goodreads in case you want to learn more about them.

That’s everything I’ve added to my shelves in April! What books have you bought or received recently? Let me know down in the comments!
Exactly…preorders don’t count! 😉 I see you have a Christmas ARC. This reminds me of an ARC I saw yesterday that you might be interested in. It’s in the sci-fi/fantasy section. Sort by latest to earliest and it’s a Christmas one with a similar looking cover that’s a play on the nightmare before Christmas…maybe the Nightmare Before Mister? Ah I can’t remember the title, but go check it out!
I just went and looked, and I’m assuming you mean The Nightmare Before Kissmas. I just requested it. 🙂 It sounds hilarious and right up my alley. I was sold as soon as I saw it was a mix of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Yesss haha that’s exactly the one!! I knew it was some play on the original title but couldn’t remember what for the life of me. 😂 Fingers crossed you get approved for it!
So many books on here that I also want to read! I’m keen to check out Otherworldly and The Familiar soon (hopefully). I’ve never heard of Whisper in the Walls before but that cover is gorgeous and I now want to check it out and add it to my TBR? 😂 I hope you enjoy all of these!
Whisper in the Walls is the sequel to A Door in the Dark, which was a total cover buy for me. lol. So, I understand completely. I didn’t love the first book, but it made me interested enough to see where things go in the second. This one will be the deciding factor on whether I continue with the series.
Ohhh fun haul!
If there’s one thing I know how to do, it is buy books. lol.
This is a great haul!! I hope you enjoy them all! 🙂
Thank you!
[…] I didn’t post as much as usual in April, but you can find all of the stuff I wrote this month in my blog archives if you are interested in checking it out. However, I did add quite a few books to my shelves in April, which you can see in my book haul post. […]
