April Reading Wrap Up

April was full of twists, ghosts, and Greek tragedy—and I loved almost every second of it!

Here’s what I read:

1. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller – I know this is a beloved favorite, but I struggled to stay hooked through the middle. The beginning and end were strong, but overall it just didn’t quite land for me.

2. The Del by S.G. Courtright – A ghost story with a twist! I didn’t see that ending coming (Carson?!) and now I’m begging for a sequel. Highly recommend if you’re into eerie, emotional mysteries.

3. Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine – Unputdownable! A woman on the run from her serial killer ex-husband? YES. The suspense was chef’s kiss.

4. Killman Creek by Rachel Caine – Picked this up the second I finished book one and it was just as intense. So fast-paced and addictive.

Overall, April was a win—and May better come with the rest of the Stillhouse series or I’m not emotionally prepared.

What did you read last month?

A bit of a better month than last. I’m in my Emily Henry era for sure, hate myself for not reading her sooner. Also had my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book this month, LOVED that as well! Overall, a pretty good reading month 😊 #aprilbookwrapup #aprilbooks #reading #books #fyp

I’ve been working so hard, so I haven’t had much time for reading. I’m determined to listen to more audiobooks this month to make up for it and to make sure I meet my reading goal for the year. Anyway, in April I only read 6 books (which is so low for me because for contrast, I have read 2 book
