Discussion: What was the best book you read in April?

Plus the Anderberg family's favorites

Hey there, readers!

Once again, it’s time to chat about our favorite reads of the previous month. Here’s what our family most enjoyed in April:

JEREMY: Wouk took my favorite fiction spot for both March and April. The Winds of War is absolutely epic in scope, covering the Henry family’s experience in the first couple of years of WWII. Can’t wait to read the sequel. On the non-fiction side, Life in Three Dimensions really opened my eyes to a new way of looking at life experiences and life decisions both big and small. Full review is coming Friday.

JANE: Charlotte McConaghy’s Wild Dark Shore, published in March, showed up a couple of times in last month’s discussion. Jane gave it a read this month and loved it, saying the setting was especially compelling and evocative.

GRAHAM (9.5 years old): I’ve been re-reading The Hunger Games series (remains as good as ever) and thought Graham would enjoy it too. It’s actually a little less explicitly violent than what I remembered and while we haven’t finished it yet, the 9-year-old is super into it.

WILLA (7 years old): The animal lover in the house continues her run of animal-themed library books. River otters are abundant where we’re moving in just over a month, so she’s been reading up. The River Otters entry in the North American Animals series is a great one.

BO (4 years old): I Love You Stinky Face has been one of our favorite board books to read with the kids. It’s silly and sweet and we’re glad that Bo has come around to enjoying it too.

Your turn! What was your favorite April read?
