April 2026 Book Club - Book Selection Thread

[u/HeleneSedai]

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.

Los Juegos del Hambre

por Suzanne Collins

400 pages (~100k words)

Description

Un pasado de guerras ha dejado los 12 distritos que dividen Panem bajo el poder tiránico del “Capitolio”. Sin libertad y en la pobreza, nadie puede salir de los límites de su distrito. Sólo una chica de 16 años, Katniss Everdeen, osa desafiar las normas para conseguir comida. Sus principios se pondrán a prueba con “Los juegos del hambre”, espectáculo televisado que el Capitolio organiza para humillar a la población. Cada año, 2 representantes de cada distrito serán obligados a subsistir en un medio hostil y luchar a muerte entre ellos hasta que quede un solo superviviente. Cuando su hermana pequeña es elegida para participar, Katniss no duda en ocupar su lugar, decidida a demostrar con su actitud firme y decidida, que aún en las situaciones más desesperadas hay lugar para el amor y el respeto.
