April’s Bestsellers: What Readers Loved on Goodreads

Welcome back to our weekly coverage of the most read books of the week on Goodreads. Today, we will be looking at the final week of April as we head into May. Keep reading to find out what your fellow readers are reading!

The fourth week of April looks a little different from last week and that’s because of Emily Henry. Her latest novel Great Big Beautiful Life was released on April 22nd and made a big splash on this week’s list. This list counted only five days for the book so we may see it even chart higher than its number three debut this week.

Once again, Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins is the most read book of the week. But it is the only Collins’ novel to make this weeks top 30 list. Collins is losing steam and I do think that Great Big Beautiful Life may dethrone it next week.

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez is still the second most read book of the week for the third straight week. Jimenez is very popular and being able to stay in second place along with some of the biggest authors is impressive and showcases her newfound popularity as more readers discover her novels.

Last week, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros fell out of the top three for the first time. And now, it has fell out of the top four as it was pushed to the fifth spot as Fearless by Lauren Roberts comes in at fourth. Still, Yarros has three books in the top 11 which is impressive considering her two other novels have were released in 2023. You can see the full list below!
