TBR | April 2024

Hello friends!

Oh, how I love planning new TBR Lists! There’s nothing better than planning the books you are going to read next – well, maybe buying books actually. I often say that reading books, buying books, and planning what books you’re reading are 3 separate and distinct hobbies! Anyway, I digress. Welcome to another monthly TBR friends! Today I’m showing you the 6 books I’m planning on reading for April.

Initially, I planned on following my trusty rules when creating a TBR List. If you read my post on How I Create My Monthly TBR Lists, you already know my magical formula to create a reading month. This is the monthly formula I’m planning on keeping for 2024: read 2 paperbacks, listen to 2 audiobooks, read 1 ebook, and read 1 manga volume.

Now with that said, I’m changing the formula once again for April to fit my current reality. I’ll talk about this in detail in my next post (my March Wrap Up) but, long story short, I’m just not in the mood for physical books at the time. I’m grabbing my e-reader a lot lately because I take it to work and to the gym regularly, so I decided to substitute a paperback for a digital book. This means my formula for April will be to read 1 paperback, listen to 2 audiobooks, read 2 ebooks, and read 1 manga volume. I still want to add a paperback to the list because I have so many waiting for me. So that’s the plan for April.

Ok, time to look closer at the books! Without further ado, here are the books I’m planning on reading:

1. The Practice Kiss (My K-Drama Life #1) by Sara Martin

One of the ebooks I want to read this month is the first romance book in the “My K-Drama Life” series. Since I’ve been very into my e-reader, I figured I could substitute one of my paperbacks with this beauty! I’m very excited to read this since I’m a k-drama lover, so this immediately caught my eye. The cover is stunning and I can only hope the story matches the cover! We’ll see how that goes.

2. Isla and the Hapily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss #3) by Stephanie Perkins

I started this series in March and I’m having the best time reading it! Initially, I was planning on putting the second book in the series “Lola and the Boy Next Door” here, but since I already started it (not planned) in March, I’m adding the third and final book of the series to my TBR! I’ll be listening to the audiobook version for this one.

3. Pita-Ten Vol. 7 by Koge-Donbo

It’s finally over – well, almost over! I thought this was the last volume from the manga series “Pita-Ten” that I have been reading for the last few months, but apparently, there is an 8th volume! I’m ready to finish this series and start a fresh new one soon. Only two more volumes to go!

4. How to Keep House While Drowning by K.C. Davis

I was looking for a non-fiction book from my TBR pile to add to my reading month, and this book jumped out saying “pick me pick me”! And so I listened. I think I’m going to learn a few new things to use in my daily life, so I’m excited to see what that will be!

5. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

For my paperback, I wanted to pick a book that really intrigued me, so I went for “A Little Life” to read in April. This is a super popular literary fiction book and I want to understand why this is so popular. To be completely honest, I’m not sure what this is about – I just know it’s about a group of friends… but I prefer to go into it without a lot of information and just enjoy the story. Anyway, fingers crossed!

6. Entwined by Heather Dixon Wallwork

I actually started this recently, but I decided to add it to my official TBR for this month. I thought this would be a great addition to the list, because not only do I wanted to pick a digital read, but I also want to read something from my “Oldest 30 Books From My TBR” List – so this is the perfect pick! I’m not too far into the book, but so far it’s okay.

Aaaand there you have it friends, my TBR list for April! As usual, I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you have any recommendations for me. You know I’m always grateful for those!

Thank you for reading, have a great day!
