This is it, the month that publishing really gets sprung. You could do months’ worth of reading with the new books coming out April 7 alone. In order to help you narrow down the options, we’ve created a highly scientific vibes-based process of elimination to determine the It Book of the Month.
The ideal It Book rings four bells:
- 🔔 Art – Is it good?
- 🔔 Acclaim – Will it contend for awards and best-of lists?
- 🔔 Sales – Where’s the money?
- 🔔 Zeitgeist – What’s the buzz?
This month’s contenders include a novel about middle-aged women on a cruise with their favorite ’90s boy band, a Booker International shortlisted novel about a mediocre witch, narrative nonfiction about a mysterious death in London, and short stories from a celebrated writer.
Join us as we play a knock-out round to crown the It Book of April! You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your podcatcher of choice.
