Booksology In April, I’m looking forward to Dewey’s 24-hour book club on April 18th and 19th. I have been participating twice a year for over 10 years! It’s a good excuse to clear out your calendar as much as possible and prioritize reading and, equally important, snacks. I have a ton of comics, novels, and other reading material compiled for the occasion.

What did you read in March? What tasks for the 2026 Read Harder Challenge did you complete? What will be in your April TBR?
I think we’re all feeling a little nervous these days, so we’ve split this list into two. The first half focuses on lighter stories about the beauty of nature and the importance of maintaining balance. The second half features darker stories about the urgency and impact of climate change and environmental destruction.
April is the month that horror fans have been waiting for. This month will see the release of many of the year’s most anticipated horror novels. We’ve got screaming-worthy new releases from some of your favorite contemporary horror authors, including Clay McLeod Chapman, Kylie Leigh Baker, Marcus Kliwer, Monica Kim, and more. We also have some incredibly creepy debut novels in stock from exciting new horror authors. So make sure you set aside more time this spring to read.
I’m really looking forward to presenting you with a guest piece this week. Sienna Oristario is here to talk about one of the important projects happening at Library Futures, which aims to help library staff think about the realities of book censorship in America in the 2020s. For library staff, Library Futures is an essential resource with insights and tools to explore the intersection of libraries, technology, and policy. Even readers who are not library staff will appreciate the work being done through Library Futures. The organization has been fighting for the right to fair access to digital resources in libraries across the country.
