Spell the Month in Books April 2023

Afternoon all!

Nichijou, Calendar

Welcome to the newest Spell the Month in Books! This time it is April!

Still a short month so YAS, however I did have a bit of an issues finding a book with a P, so in the end I went with someone’s surname for that later. All the other letters I found quite easily! 3 of these these books are on my TBR, 1 I need to buy when I can, 3 are from Netgalley (one read), and 1 is from my physical TBR! I cannot wait to start reading all these books this month~ dances And I hope that spring starts for real! It is still cold and at times the weather just says no. I want some more sun, some warmth! Plus, I want to do some gardening~

Audrey Covington Breaks the Rules by Karina Evans, Children's Books, Humour, Grandmother, Grandparents, Hollywood, Summer, Girl, Woman, GolfcartA grandmother-granddaughter duo set off on the Hollywood adventure of a lifetime in this funny middle-grade novel about breaking rules, growing up, and finding yourself—perfect for fans of Wendy Mass and Booki Vivat.

Audrey Covington’s parents are the textbook definition of strict—they don’t let Audrey stay up late or watch scary movies, and they definitely don’t let her go anywhere unsupervised. Audrey knows it’s best to just accept the way it is. But her friends decide her parents’ rules are getting in the way of all their fun and unceremoniously disinvite her from their annual start-of-summer slumber party so they aren’t tied down by boring Audrey.

Now Audrey is stuck helping her parents move her former-movie-star grandmother into a luxury retirement community. When she finally manages to sneak off to her parents’ car to check her phone, her grandmother climbs into the driver’s seat and speeds off—not realizing Audrey is still in the back seat! After startling each other, they come to a deal: Audrey promises not to tell her parents where her grandma is if Audrey can join in on one last grand adventure—no rules allowed. But as the two make their way across Hollywood, they realize that the life they think they want might not be what they need.

The McGinns were supposed to be going on a perfectly normal family vacation.

But when the family decides to make an unplanned stop one night, it quickly becomes clear that this family vacation is about to get more than a little weird, because there is nothing normal about the EXIT 13 Motel.

Rooms and hallways that don’t go where they’re supposed to, a receptionist that looks like he came straight out of a horror movie, and creepy woods that Ash swears have some kind of monster lurking in them – maybe even more than one.
