Monthly TBR | April 2026

It’s a new month for a few days already, but I hadn’t had the time to finalize my monthly TBR that was already sitting in my drafts. After putting these posts on hiatus for a few months, I returned them back in March. I was still a bit reluctant as I was in the mother of all reading slumps, but I felt energetic about my reading and blogging at the start of last month. However, this energy already faded a bit, especially blogging wise. I hope I’m not swapping the reading slump for a blogging one! Anyway, a new month means a new pile of hopefuls to read. I did fairly well on my March TBR, I only have 2 books left unread. In my defense, I had some pretty busy weeks at work and the books I left untouched are quite tense, and I simply wasn’t in the right headspace for them. So, let’s see what I am planning for April! Again, I use my “up next” queue on The Storygraph to curate this TBR. Click on the cover to go directly to the book page on Goodreads.

In the queue

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

I put Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid on my possibility pile for March, but I didn’t have the book then. Now I do, so I can finally pick it up in April. I’m definitely planning on doing so! I’ve heard a lot about this title already, so let’s see how I will enjoy it. It’s a hype after all.

Cleopatra by Saara El-Arifi

Another book that was on my possibility pile for March, is everywhere and I bought a copy of in the end of the month, is Cleopatra by Saara El-Arifi. I tried The Final Strife by this author a few years ago, but didn’t really like it, to the point I had to DNF. I hope this reading experience will be different!

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of last month’s leftovers. I just couldn’t handle the story, I think this is a challenging one I was just too tired for. Hopefully April will be the month I finally pick this one up!

Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde

Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde is a book I’ve been eagerly anticipating. However, I didn’t get a copy until last month, so I can finally pick it up now!

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronté

The final one in the Queue is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronté, my second leftover from March. This is a classic, and I actually don’t read classics, so I wasn’t sure whether this would be the perfect fit considering the circumstances at that moment. Let’s hope I can knock it off in April!

My possibility pile

April is promising some nice spring weather, so that means time for romance! I have some books I really hope to be able to squeeze in:

  • Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
  • Wildfire by Hannah Grace
  • Rose in Chains by Julie Soto

What books do you hope to read in April?
