A Bookish Time Capsule: April 2025
23 titles I have loved in Aprils past
Hello readers! One of the things I am constantly working on is finding more opportunities to tell you about books I have loved that just don’t get enough long-lasting attention in the bookish world.
That’s how I came up with a new monthly(ish) feature:
A Bookish Time Capsule!
Each month(ish) I will be sharing books that I read and loved that month in past years, going back to 2015ish ~ this serves you with more backlist book recommendations and gives me a chance to mine my reading archives for those gems I want to savor again. Win - win!
This month, I am bringing you 23 very different titles, from sweet romance to deeply researched nonfiction, that made my past literary Aprils so very happy …
Please tap through each title below to learn more! OR you can see all of these books & their covers in one place at my Bookshop.org collection.
