Ellie Kemper was the guest judge for April.

TheApril 2016 Book of the Month selections were:

• The Nest, by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney (Guest Judge: Ellie Kemper, $16.19) This book will be an Amazon Movie!
• Flight of Dreams, by Ariel Lawhon (Judge: Nina Sankovitch, $17.74)
• Left of Boom, by Douglas Laux and Ralph Pezzullo (Judge: Book of the Month, $17.70)
•  A Mother’s Reckoning, by Sue Klebold (Judge: Kim Hubbard, $17.62)
• No One Knows, by J.T. Ellison (Judge: Liberty Hardy, $17.77)
I had a hard time deciding! I already read The Nest. The other four books looked interesting. I want to read them all! I sent my two top choices to Brandy and asked her to select one for me.

 Brandy surprised me with No One Knows by J.T. Ellison. Excellent choice!

The books are shrinkwrapped onto cardboard and include a note from the judge.

 It says

This book has more twists and turns than a corkscrew! Every other page I had a new theory about what happened to Aubrey’s husband. (He’s dead! He’s alive! She did it! She didn’t do it!) ‘No One Knows’ is that intense thriller you need to pull you through the last days of winter, a mystery that will have you second-guessing everyone so often, you’ll start to eye your pets suspiciously. Have fun trying to figure it out! Liberty

It’s the perfect choice for the winter that never ends!

I have my eye on you Puss in Boots. Your sleepy cuteness is fooling no one.

No One Knows, by J.T. Ellison ($17.77)

In an obsessive mystery as thrilling as The Girl on the Train and The Husband’s Secret, New York Timesbestselling author J.T. Ellison will make you question every twist in her page-turning novel—and wonder which of her vividly drawn characters you should trust.

The day Aubrey Hamilton’s husband is declared dead by the state of Tennessee should bring closure so she can move on with her life. But Aubrey doesn’t want to move on; she wants Josh back. It’s been five years since he disappeared, since their blissfully happy marriage—they were happy, weren’t they?—screeched to a halt and Aubrey became the prime suspect in his disappearance. Five years of emptiness, solitude, loneliness, questions. Why didn’t Josh show up at his friend’s bachelor party? Was he murdered? Did he run away? And now, all this time later, who is the mysterious yet strangely familiar figure suddenly haunting her new life?

I’m on Chapter 3 and am leaning towards that he disappeared. I reserved the right to change my mind as I read further into the book.

I noticed the logo again this month. After you read your book, you can rate it! There is also a discussion feature on the site.

It’s another great month for the Book of the Month! It’s a great way to build your book collection and even try out books that are outside of your regular reading habits. Skip the month if nothing interests you! Select a book by April 15!
