Happy Monday, book lovers! How is it already time to post April’s topics? The month is flying by but I guess this is how it always goes these years, right? We’re really excited about April’s topics and we hope you are too! Here’s what’s in store for ✨April 2026 LTB Topics!✨
What’s Let’s Talk Bookish?
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly (Friday) meme originally created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and co-hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits and me (Dini @dinipandareads)! In this bookish discussion meme, bloggers get to discuss certain topics, share opinions, and spread love by visiting each other’s posts.
You can find an archive of topics HERE!
If you have a topic you’d like to share (even if you don’t join LTB), you can fill in the Google form at the end of this post!
April 3: Novels in Verse
Prompts: Have you read any novels in verse? Do you think novels in verse can be more emotionally powerful compared to regular prose, or do you think novels in verse are more difficult to connect with? What kind of stories do you think work best in verse (i.e. coming-of-age, grief, romance, historical fiction, etc.)? What are your favourite novels in verse?
April 10: Casting in Adaptations
Prompts: Casting in book-to-film adaptations is always a big topic, and recently, the Wuthering Heights movie starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi has been the source of a lot of controversy. Other 2026 high-profile adaptations include Project Hail Mary, out March 20th, and the new Hunger Games movie, set to release in the fall, both for which the casting has been received more positively. What is most important to you with casting for book-to-film adaptations? Is the perfect hair color, or right height or eyes always a must, or is personality more important? When are book-accurate looks in casting most important? What are your favorite—and least favorite—book-to-film adaptations when it comes to casting?
April 17: Poetry in the Age of Social Media
Prompts: A few years ago, poetry saw a surge of popularity on social media thanks to “Instagram Poetry” or “instapoetry” by authors like Rupi Kaur, Amanda Lovelace, and Atticus. Do you think social media platforms have changed how people discover poetry? Do you think “instapoetry” makes poetry seem more approachable, or do you agree with critics who say that it’s not “real poetry”? Have you read any instapoetry, and if so, what are your favourite authors/poems/collections?
April 24: The Increasing Popularity of Climate Fiction
Prompts: Climate fiction is an increasingly popular genre, and has grown from being seen as a sci-fi subgenre to a broader category of its own — its own literary prize even being established in 2025. Have you read climate fiction (‘cli-fi’) or books centred around environmental issues? Do stories about the climate or the environment make you feel hopeful, anxious, or something else? Do you think cli-fi can influence how people think about the environment?
