Books Around the Block
We’re Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay—three neighbors who can’t stop talking about books, so we’re bringing the conversation to you. Each episode, we’ll dive into the stories we love (and maybe a few we don’t), mixing fun with literary insight. So get ready to laugh, add to your TBR, and join the discussion—because in our neighborhood, a good book is always just around the block.

In this episode of Books Around the Block, we’re diving into our most anticipated Q2 releases, covering all the buzzy new books hitting shelves in April, May, and June. Each of us brought three upcoming titles we cannot stop thinking about, from can’t-miss thrillers to swoony romances to stories we already know will wreck us in the best way.
Expect strong opinions, a few hot takes, and plenty of “add to cart immediately” energy as we break down what’s worth preordering and what should be on your radar for the next few months.
Your spring and early summer TBR starts here.
