I’ll admit that my reading choices for the month of April involve some serious topics. This month’s book picks cover WWII, a plane crash, and child abuse/neglect.

Or are people just buying these books because of the author’s previous works or because of recommendations by influencers? Either way, there are books below I definitely recommend and others I would say to pass on. Here are my March book reviews;
