Keukenhof flower garden, also known as the Garden of Europe. One of the world's largest flower gardens. Lisse, the Netherlands.Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re closing out the month of April:

Lara: I started BR Myers’ The Third Wife of Faraday House ( A | BN | K | AB ) about a week ago, but I haven’t managed more than a few chapters so far. I adored a dreadful splendor so assumed I’d love this one too. I’m not quite ready to admit defeat though and will try get into it again tonight.

Sarah: I have been listening to Chelsea Devantez’ memoir to prep for an interview (squeeeee!) and have also been listening to the Innkeeper Chronicles ( A | BN | K | AB ) full cast audio recordings.

Y’all. I am loving these except there was a kissing scene with MOUTH NOISES and I almost expired dramatically.

Kiki: Bleh kissing MOUTH NOISES in an audiobook should be a criminal crime.

Susan: Matsuri Akino’s Pet Shop of Horrors ( A | BN | K | AB ) is being retranslated/rereleased and I am being so normal about it. It was my first Real Grown-up Fandom (… I was fourteen), it was basically the template for my love of anthology supernatural mysteries, it was one of my first manga…

The art is still gorgeous, the stories are 100% more readable with the new translation, I’m just having a lot of feelings.

Kiki: After many false starts and lots of “it’s too hard to find a book I like”, I’m listening to Jo Goodman’s In Want of a Wife ( A ) which I’m liking well enough. It is very much a people-doing-very-descriptive-chores book, but I kinda like that sometimes? I mean, I don’t wanna do chores, but I’ll listen to other folks do them!

Shana: I’m reading Sylvia’s Second Act by Hillary Yablon. ( A | BN | K | AB ) It fun having a 60-something heroine.
