Patience My Darling is a feature where I highlight books that I’m extremely interested in reading that will be releasing sometime this month. I’ll also be highlighting some books I’ve already read since most people might not have read them yet.
April has so many book releases I’m looking forward to reading. There’s no doubt I’ll be going broke this month.
April 7th
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and the fact that Simon loves Oreos just makes me go all <3<3<3. I really have to start this one soon!
The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre
I’m currently reading The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things and it’s surprisingly good so far! Ann Aguirre is one of my go to authors, so I was disappointed to find out that I didn’t enjoy Ann Aguirre’s latest books, so I’m really glad to find myself enjoying The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things.
Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong
It’s Kelley Armstrong. Enough said. But honestly, I need to start this series soon! This month I hope!
April 14th
Beautiful Secret by Christina Lauren
Although I DNF’d Christina Lauren’s young adult book, Sublime, I enjoy their adult series and can’t wait to get my hands on Beautiful Secret!
The Wondrous and the Wicked by Page Morgan
Even though I’ve never read the second book in the series, I’m dying to know how it all ends! What will become of Luce? Will he ever find happiness?
Dream A Little Dream by Kerstin Gier
I’ve already read and reviewed Dream A Little Dream – review for it will go up at its release week – and it’s so FUN! Dream A Little Dream made me want to skip around and join Liv on all her adventures. That girl is hilarious.
April 21st
Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby
Things We Know by Heart was one of my most anticipated books of 2015 – I mean, how can it not be with a synopsis like that? However, once I managed to get my hands on an ARC and read it, it was utterly disappointing. More information would be in my review, going up in April.
99 Days by Katie Cotugno
As soon as I saw the cover of 99 Days, I knew I needed this book in my life. Add a love triangle with two brothers and oh my.
Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke by Anne Blankman
World War II. Hitler. Those two words (okay, I know it’s not two words, but you get what I mean) alone will make me go all grabby hands for a book. I sadly till haven’t read the first book in the series, but I will sometime soon because it’s just too epic not to read.
April 28th
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
THIS BOOK. I’ve already read and reviewed this one (review will go up at the end of April) and just, PREORDER THIS ONE ASAP GUYS, especially since it’s only $2.99 for a digital copy. You can thank me later.
The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey
I’ve heard mixed things about this one and I just have a feeling that I wouldn’t enjoy this one because of one of the problems most people pointed out. However, I’ll still be giving The Girl at Midnight a try and hopefully I’ll enjoy it.
Rook by Sharon Cameron
I love books that focus on secrets and conspiracies. Thank goodness this book will be in my hands soon.
The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver
TWINS. Whenever I see a book with the words “twins” in it, it’s an automatic must read for me. I wish I was born a twin myself, but since I wasn’t, I’ll just have to live through books about twins.
Rogue by Julie Kagawa
I’ve heard meh things about the first book, but since this is Julie Kagawa and dragons, I must give this book a try. Hopefully this one wouldn’t be disappointing!
Valiant by Sarah McGuire
A fairytale retelling with giants? Um, yes! Thank goodness I have a copy of this lovely book in my hands right this very moment.
In A World Just Right by Jen Brooks
Okay, I’ll be honestly, I just want this book because of it’s cover, but hopefully the inside would be as good as the outside right? And that spine!

I think I’m most looking forward to An Ember in the Ashes.
OMG! Kelly another giveaway and I can’t wait to get a copy of An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. So obviously that is the one I have been anticipating since last year.
So if ever I get lucky in this one I will definitely pick this one for my shelf ;) Thank you once again Kelly, have a good day!
Also i love this post it keeps me updated of what’s knew and I have almost missed out on some of the good ones.
April is the month of some of the best books! I’m eagerly waiting for An Ember in the Ashes, Magical creatures and Dream A little.

Love this post! What book am I looking forward to the most this month though, well that’s a tough question. I am so excited for An Ember in the Ashes which I’m reading right now, but I’m also excited for Rook, The Girl at Midnight, Rogue, and Dream a Little Dream! Thanks so much for another awesome giveaway! =)
Things We Know By Heart! I love Jessi Kirby and the idea for this books just makes me want to run around squealing!
KELLY ALL THE BOOKS.
AN EMBER IN THE ASHES WAS SO GOOD. I JUST FINISHED AND IDK WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. HOW DO I LIVE, RIGHT?!
I read The Secrets we Keep and it was really good for the first half but it dragged the second and that made me a little sad.
But ROOK looks awesome!

I can’t wait to read An Ember in the Ashes!
I wasn’t really that crazy about Talon, but you are right, it is Julie Kagawa, so I’ll probably end up reading Rogue! 99 Days and The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things both sound FANTASTIC!

I still can’t decide about 99 Days; hopefully more people will start reviewing it soon so I can decide :D And everyone seems to love Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda but I’m just not sure it’s for me!

Lots of books! Elle Kennedy has the next book in her contemporary new adult series coming out at the end of the month (28th), Form the books you have above both 99 Days and Things We Know by <3 are on my list.
There are too many amazing books releasing in April! April 28th specially seems to be full of awesomeness!! And I do have quite a few of them preordered like The Girl at Midnight and Ember in the Ashes and Rogue!
