what I read in April

5/2 Edited to

... Read moreApril was an exciting month filled with diverse reading experiences. Among the standout books I explored, 'Sea of Tranquility' by Emily St. John Mandel captivated me with its blend of science fiction and literary elegance, earning a solid 4-star rating from my perspective. Its narrative weaves time and space in an intriguing way, perfect for readers who love thoughtful, speculative stories. Another memorable read was 'The Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle,' a suspenseful mystery that kept me guessing until the end. Its complex plot and rich character development made it a thrilling choice for fans of the genre. I also dove into several contemporary romance and drama novels, such as those by Amy D and Kasie, which offered refreshing takes on relationships and personal growth. Listening to some of these titles on Audible added a new dimension to my reading habit, allowing me to multitask while enjoying the stories. The mix of physical books and audiobooks helped me stay engaged and discover new authors and genres through multiple formats. Sharing my April reading wrap-up has inspired me to set more diverse reading goals and try authors I might not have considered before. Whether you're into mystery, sci-fi, romance, or literary fiction, April's reads offered a bit of everything. If you're looking for book recommendations or curious about new releases, these titles are a great place to start. What did you read in April? Let's exchange favorites and keep the reading momentum going!

April was a good month: while I read 15, I DNFed 2 (not listed or shown) and completed 13. The wide variety kept me entertained all month and never once did I feel like I was falling into a reading slump. I even had two 5-star books and several 4-star books! Can’t wait to see what reading journeys

What I read in April 📚
Started the month off with psychological thrillers and ended with horror.. If you love thrillers, I highly recommend Then She was Gone and We Were Liars. My first time reading anything by Dean Koontz in all my years of reading. I don’t know why I waited so long to pick up one of his books.

I had such a good reading month. While I read about half the number of books I typically do, I found that it was a perfect sweet spot and I’m going to try to limit my reading to around 5 books a month moving forward. I was able to take my time with each book, and with that I found a more reward
