All I said when I was waiting for this page to load was "Let's see how broke I'll be next month."

Haha, adria03, I make this list every month and without fail, I go through it and wonder how much of my paycheck will be gone after I go through each book. So many good reads coming up!

I'm waiting on the next installment of Abigail Roux's Cut and Run series (m/m).

Touch and Geaux (featuring that wonderful FBI duo Ty Grady and Zane Garrett) is coming out April 8.

In the Women's Fiction section, you should add The Ashford Affair by Lauren Willig that comes out April 9th. I read an advance copy, and it was really good! It was like Downton Abbey meets Out of Africa, with family secrets. If you like historical fiction, I recommend it.

I'm keeping this list right at my fingertips! Would I be totally obnoxious if I said I want to read them ALL? Sigh....

@Connie, I compile this list every month and it is very dangerous for my TBR pile! I had to start a whole notebook so I could remember books that caught my interest while doing it, so not obnoxious at all! I get it lol!
