April Reading Wrap-Up


April was significantly better than March for reading. I only read 3 books in March, but 5 in April. However, I did only post on my blog once in April, and have been very behind on actually being online at all... oh well!


FOUR STARS

The Castaways by Lucy Clarke


FIVE STARS

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

The Hike by Lucy Clarke

None of this is True by Lisa Jewell

Spirit Level by Richy Craven


I didn't actually realise I read two books by the same author until after I had finished reading them. I found The Hike on a community bookshelf, and thought it sounded interesting. That was the only paperback I read this month (the rest were all audiobooks). The Castaways I listened to, and enjoyed the majority of the book, but I did not like how it ended, hence the 4 stars, rather than 5.

The Lost Apothecary I technically started listening to in March, but I only listened to about an hour or two of it, and only right at the end of March. So it just about qualifies for this post!

My favourite book of this month was definitely Spirit Level, even though I only just finished listening to it in time. There will definitely be a review to follow for it soon, because it really was very good.

My goal for May is to read more physical books. It's all well and good borrowing audiobooks from my library app, and listening to them, but I can only listen to them as quickly as they are narrated (I can't stand listening to anything sped up) and it doesn't really help me get through my physical TBR list. I think I'll aim for two ebooks and at least one physical book in May, in addition to any audiobooks I listen to while driving about.

Another goal for May is to actually finish editing the third book in my short story series, The Choice Series, because it's now been written and not released for nearly two years and that is way too long!

Also to actually post on my blog and have a presence on social media this month.

So nothing much!

Anyway, that's all for now...

Bye!
