Best of the Bunch (April 2026)

Today I'm sharing the best book I read in April.

Of the 7 books I read this month, I didn't have another 5-star reads, but I had one 4.5-star read, so that's my Best of the Bunch!

There were elements of Listen for the Lie that reminded me of The Girl on the Train, particularly the protagonist's amnesia around the night of her best friend's murder and her apparent inability to make good decisions generally, and there were definitely other tropes that made this somewhat predictable, but ultimately none of that took away from my enjoyment. I also really liked the story alternating with podcast episodes, similar to Sadie, and like that book, it was excellent on audio. Despite one egregious consistency error, on the whole, I really enjoyed this listen!

Looking back:
One year ago I was reading: You Know, Sex, The Name of the Wind, More Than Two, All About Love, and The Vanderbeekers of 141 Street
Five years ago I was reading: Kate in Waiting, Womanist Midrash, and Freddie Ramos Adds It All Up
Ten years ago I was reading: The Husband's Secret, The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Church of Mercy
