Aardvark Book Club Predictions: What Could Be Picked in April 2026?
Updated March 29 with more April 2026 Aardvark Book Club predictions based on the hints posted to Aardvark’s social media accounts.
Back by popular demand! I haven’t posted Aardvark Book Club predictions since October 2025. But many people have been asking for these posts again, so I am giving this month a trial run to see how it does!
I stopped doing Aardvark Book Club predictions for two reasons: the posts weren’t getting a lot of traffic and I felt like every list was just a horror book post. I love Aardvark Book Club, but some months they lack variety for me. Everything is gruesome and/or heavy, so I felt like my posts were not very interesting to read.
However, every month I have people asking where the Aardvark Book Club predictions are, so here’s my April 2026 predictions.
And if you want to know about even more books releasing in April 2026, check out my complete list here.

If you aren’t familiar with Aardvark Book Club, you can check out my full review of this subscription service. The basic idea is Aardvark Book Club chooses five books from different genres every month and members can choose their pick when the books go live. You can also add on up to two more books for only $9.99 each. If you don’t like any of the picks, you can choose to skip and save your credit for the next month, which is honestly the best part of this service to me. I don’t like subscription boxes that only offer one book selection that you don’t know ahead of time. If you are interested in trying Aardvark Book Club, you can use my code ALLISON when you checkout at this link to get your first book for only $4!
As usual, these are just my opinions and my Aardvark Book Club predictions. It is fine if you disagree or think the Aardvark Book Club April 2026 predictions are terrible-we all have different reading tastes. Please remember to be kind in comments or messages because we are all readers with different tastes!
