Top Ten Tuesday: April Showers–Books With April, Rain or Spring

This week’s topic is:

April Showers — Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with rain on the cover/in the title, that have rainstorms in the story, or that have anything to do with rain)

I’m showcasing books with rain, April or Spring as part of the story or title.
