New Releases Of The Month

-
I hope I don't speak too soon when I say that we finally made it through the winter to spring!  Happy April everyone! 

In addition to better weather, there are quite a few books I'm looking forward to reading this month:

Lost Roses
by Martha Hall Kelly
Historical Fiction
Release Date 4/9/2019

Lost Roses

This is the prequel to my beloved Lilac Girls, and I am currently reading this book.  I don't have the words to express how much I loved the first book, so my expectations are seriously high for this new release.

Dutch Girl:  Audrey Hepburn and World War II
by Robert Matzen
Biography
Release Date 4/15/2019

Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II

I am extremely lucky to have been sent an advance copy of this book by the nice people at Smith Publicity.  When they sent me the description of Dutch Girl, I jumped at the chance to review it - I am a HUGE Audrey Hepburn fan!

Greek to Me:  Adventures of the Comma Queen
by Mary Norris
Nonfiction
Release Date 4/2/2019

Greek to Me: Adventures of the Comma Queen

While I don't often speak about it on this platform, I am definitely a pretty big linguistics nerd, so nothing is more appealing to me than a book about the role of Greek language set in its beautiful homeland.

Normal People
by Sally Rooney
Fiction
Release Date 4/16/2019

Normal People

This book about the complexity of relationships is already getting great reviews, so I definitely want to check it out!

What other books are you looking forward to reading this spring?  Tell me in the comments!

The Liar's Daughter  by Megan Cooley Peterson Release date 09/10/2019 284 pages 4 out of 5 stars According to the publisher, " Seventeen-year-old Piper knows that Father is a Prophet. Infallible. The chosen one. She would do anything for Father. That's why she takes care of all her little sisters. That's why she runs end-of-the-world drills. That's why she never asks questions.
