Great recommendations Jodie! The cover for ‘Meet Me at the Lake’ reminds me of ‘Every Summer After’, and it’s cool that it’s written by the same author. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I’m impressed that you are looking into May already. I’m still trying to plan my books for the rest of April, I have a few ARCs lined up. I have The True Love Experiment on my Netgalley. Hope you enjoy all of the books on your list.
It looks like there are some really interesting and fun reads coming out soon; I am terrible at keeping up with what will be available so I am always needing reminders and lists like this. Thanks for sharing; there are a few here I think I could really get into — ‘Someone Else’s Bucket List’ sounds particularly good to me!
Jana Goes Wild and True Love Experiment are both on my TBR. The True Love Experiment I actually pre-ordered the audiobook, can’t wait till I have time to listen!
Drowning looks like it’ll pump high-adrenaline! Whoa. As it says on the cover: like Apollo 13 underwater, LoL. You might have to read it first for us. Cheers.

Interesting book suggestions, I’ve seen some of them in your previous posts. Are you going to publish a review of these books?
thathappyreader
Yes. These books will all be reviewed closer to publication dates (as per publisher’s requests) or after I’m able to borrow them from my library.
