As April rolls in with fresh spring showers, many of us are tucked away into our homes, practicing our social distancing and waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic. To keep any stir-craziness or news-anxiety at bay, most of us are turning to solo hobbies like embroidery kits, fun online classes and a trust good read. The good news? We’ve got a truly eclectic mix of books to look forward to this month.
ICYMI, we’re teaming up with the literary experts at Goodreads to bring you each month’s most anticipated books of the year. This month features something for everyone. Fans of historical fiction will enjoy the thought-provoking “Swimming In The Dark” by Tomasz Jedrowski and “The Book Of Lost Friends” by Lisa Wingate. There’s plenty of thrillers and mind-benders as well, such as “Death In Her Hands” by Ottessa Mosh. For those feeling uncertain at work, Marie Kondo is back with “Joy At Work: Organizing Your Professional Life.”
While you can find all of the books below on Amazon, it’s worth noting that Amazon is slow-tracking deliveries of books and other non-essentials right now, so you might be better off opting for audio or ebook versions. Now is also the time to support your local bookstores. Many small businesses are finding new ways to serve their customers, so it’s also worth checking out whether your local independent bookshop has set up a delivery service directly or through its distributors.
However you find your next page-turner, in the meantime, we’ve pulled together the most anticipated books coming out in April. Be sure to check out the best books that just came out in March, while you’re at it.
