Here are some April 14th new book releases on my radar (and should be on yours!). First, the one I had a chance to read already:

Permanence by Sophie Mackintosh 5/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you love literary speculative fiction. I was thrilled to get an ARC of one of my most anticipated releases, and as much as I've appreciated Sophie's other works, this has been my favorite. Our main character wake up in an alternate world where she gets to live openly with her affair partner. Themes of “what ifs”, regret, and longing are strong, as well as an exploration when each partner has different desires. 

Last Night in Brooklyn by Xochitl Gonzalez 4.25/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you want to read a love letter to Brooklyn and a time capsule of 2007 (Which does not make this historical fiction...fight me). Our characters are young and MESSY, but there is still a lot of heart.

Odessa by Gabrielle Sher 4.25/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you appreciate historical folk horror. This one has deep roots in Jewish folklore, and reminds us that European antisemitism was a problem long before the Holocaust.

Honor & Heresy by Max Francis 3/5 stars

Put this on your TBR if you like nerdy fantasy. Unfortunately for me, fantasy hasn't been hitting lately. I heard this billed as dark academia, but it's more dark library than academia (if that makes any sense).

And the one I'm still waiting to get my hands on:

The Photonic Effect by Mike Chen

Why it interests me: a space opera features a galactic civil war...I've been hankering for science fiction.
