With everything cancelled for April at least you have one thing to look forward to: April book releases are coming soon!⁠
⁠
After all the releases in March, I was worried that April would be a letdown. How wrong I was. The hot titles just keep coming.⁠
⁠
On the blog, I've got reviews for six titles I was lucky enough to review and five more than I can't wait to read.⁠
⁠
Find out which ones I loved and which are duds. Link in bio.⁠
⁠
Special thanks to @houghtonmifflinharcourt @williammorrowbooks and @publicaffairsbooks for the pictured review copies!

I carried this book all over Manhattan taking book

I carried this book all over Manhattan taking book pictures. It wasn't until I got home that I realized I never once took a picture of the book jacket.
The Only Plane in the Sky by Garrett M. Graff is an oral history of 9/11. He takes quotes and transcripts from people who lives through the terror to show the true horror of those events.

I bought this specifically for this trip, knowing I was going to visit the 9/11 memorial. I started to cry from the very first page. I honestly had to read it in small pieces. It's an emotional and powerful read that I can't recommend enough.
Five stars just doesn't seem like enough for this one.

Best food I had in NYC? The waffles at Bryant Park.
Next to the Main Branch of the NYC Public Library is a park that houses an ice rink and a bunch of little dining options. The chain Wafels & Dinges has a booth there, and I randomly picked some for lunch.
Waffles for dinner is a staple at our house. I don't know what they do, but their waffles but ours to shame. So so good. I really need to learn their secrets.

I think this is what heaven might look like. ⁠

We all know why Belle really fell in love with the Beast. One look at a library like this one, and any bookworm would be swept away.⁠
⁠
I seriously could not stop smiling when I was at the Morgan library. Just look at all those books.

What are your favorite kinds of pastries?⁠
⁠
One of my objectives is New York was to scout out new pastries for my husband to try. ⁠
⁠
A few months ago he decided he really want a chocolate croissant and was not pleased with the local offerings. So he learned to make croissants, then Koign Amman, pizza, Mille Feuille. ⁠
⁠
I can tell you we've been eating well while in isolation. He's definitely a keeper. 💕

"There's no such thing as too many books." Love this mural from the Strand Bookstore. I might not love owning all the books, but sure so want to read all of them.

With all the craziness of late, books have become a refuge for me. I read 5 books last week and will likely read as many Thai coming week.

Today on the blog I'm covering all the books I've been reading this past month. Find out what books I recommend you read and which ones you should skip.
