April is showering us with a plethora of new and highly reviewed fiction books! So much so that it took me a few days to narrow down the list for our Monthly Pre-Reads. Truly. Below are sixteen newly published or soon-to-be published titles; eight fiction and eight non-fiction. I typically scour Baker and Taylor’s vault as well as Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus Review, Library Journal, and Amazon for reviews and suggestions. Thus all summaries and reviews below are directly taken from these publications. I try to make sure a variety of genres and subgenres are represented. In full disclosure, I have not read any of these but there are a few I placed on My-To-Read-List. At the moment I am reading the Bostonians by Henry James, the classic is far from newly published, but I digress. Get your quill and paper ready to jot down some new titles! Take your list to the local bookstore or library to request for purchase. Yes, I encourage this “pester-some” activity in my readers. Always, an informed patron than an uninformed one, I say! Which titles are you most interested in?
