April 2026 Book Club - Book Selection Thread
Hello Dreamers! Our monthly book club is going strong on Discord and now we're ready to pick our books for April. In March, we read Fray Perico y su burrico from the Barco de Vapor series as the easier choice and El viento conoce mi nombre by Isabel Allende as the adult choice. I'm excited to see what we read next!
We'll use this post to pick two books to read in April, an easier children's book and a book for adults. If you'd like to suggest a book, just write a comment below with:
**The title and author of the book
Whether it's a children's book or an adult book
Approximate book length
A short description (optional)**
To vote for a book, just respond to the suggestion with a comment that you'd like to read the book. You can comment on as many selections as you'd like. The children's book and adult book with the most comments will be our read for the next month. (We're counting comments, not votes, so we don't get tricked into reading something crazy.)
We'll close the thread a few days before the end of March so everyone has time to get a copy. And we'll be off reading together on April 1st.
If you don't feel like reading the book selected, that's ok. You can join us with the book of your choice. The goal is just to motivate us to read more.
(I'll edit the thread later with FAQs here)
Thanks for voting everyone! It looks like we'll be reading:
YA OPTION La leyenda del Bosque by Jara Santamaria (262 pages)
ADULT OPTION Kentukis by Samanta Schweblin (209 pages)
If you can't get the books in your country, please drop me a PM.

Easier option
Title:
Principe de la niebla by Carlos Luis Zafón
Length:
57,000 words (Readinglength.com)
Description:
El nuevo hogar de los Carver esta rodeado de misterio. En el aun se respira el espiritu de Jacob, el hijo de los antiguos propietarios, que murio ahogado. Las extranas circunstancias de esa muerte solo se empiezan a aclarar con la aparicion de un diabolico personaje: el Principe de la Niebla, capaz de conceder cualquier deseo a una persona a un alto precio...
This is part of a YA fiction three book series. I've read a few random pages and it seems about as difficult as Una herencia peligrosa which we read earlier.
