Until next year, April! What a crazy busy month at home and work. I’m glad a new month is coming around and while I don’t think all of a sudden all of the demands will go away, it’s exciting to look forward to a new month. Despite all the busy-ness, my reading went pretty well as I finished six books.
Here are the books I read:
I Let You Go by Claire Mackintosh
Rolling Blackouts by Sarah Glidden
The Crooked Inheritance by Marge Piercy
The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor
Snap by Belinda Bauer
Something New by Lucy Knisley
My two favorites were the poetry collection by Marge Piercy and the thriller by C.J. Tudor. It’s not a surprise to me either that the books I fell back on were mainly mystery/thrillers. At least I did branch out a bit and enjoyed two graphic novels.
So while I didn’t get to post much this month there was a lot of reading going on. I have been enjoying several magazines which have piled up on my nightstand. Lots of World Literature Today and Art Journaling editions.
Did you guys do anything to celebrate World Book Day? I took advantage of the Amazon Read the World promotion and added several new books to my Kindle.
Alright now it’s time to get back to reading. Hope you are all having a wonderful week and here’s to joyful month ahead!
It sounds like you’ve had a good month in books and craft magazines!
Sounds like you’d a great reading month, Iliana. I enjoyed I LET YOU GO & THE CHALK MAN a lot. I hope you’ll have a great month in May; reading and work-wise.
I only finished one collection of poetry in April, but it was delightful. I’m frustrated though, because I had an all-most completed draft of my Month in Summary for April sitting in my draft folder on Blogger and now it’s GONE! I’m sure it won’t be difficult to recreate, but it will take some time and I’m tempted to skip it. 🙁 Anyhow, enough wining about me. I’m glad you had a good month. 🙂 I’ll have to see if I can find a copy of The Chalk Man at my library.
I read The Chalk Man too. Hope May is filled with plenty of reading.
Jen Mullen – I still have such a big stack of magazines waiting to be read. I don’t know how that always happens!
Melody – Thank you. I do hope my work calms down a bit but if not, I’ll just be dreaming of the upcoming vacation 🙂
Les in OR – Yay, for poetry collection! I hate it when that happens on blog posts. That has definitely happened to me as well!
Nise’ (Under the Boardwalk) – Thank you! And, hope you have a lovely month with lots of great reading too!
