April 2026

For someone who loves music like I do, April was surprisingly lacking in music. I flew down to Atlanta to visit a friend and to see the band The Maine, so I listened to a lot of their discography this month, but otherwise, my time was dominated by audiobooks.

If you’re looking for audiobooks, some of my standouts were: the Twilight Saga (of course) and The Hunger Games series. I also listened to a couple Lynn Painter books (the Mr. Wrong Number duology) and several Abby Jimenez books! My favorites of hers were probably Say You’ll Remember Me and The Night We Met, but I’ve never met an Abby Jimenez book I haven’t loved, so really, you can’t go wrong. I also loved The Wedding People by Alison Espach.

As for the official April Playlist, here it goes:

1. Bella’s Lullaby
2. Come Down With Love – Allstar Weekend
3. Die to Fall – The Maine
4. Sticky – The Maine

If this looks good to you, check it out here! I think it’ll honestly be a long time before the Heated Rivalry soundtrack doesn’t make its way onto my monthly playlists. It didn’t help either that I went to Book Con this month and saw Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney… The Heated Rivalry obsession only grows…
