The Books I’ve Read In April

4/29 Edited to

... Read moreApril has been an exciting month of reading, and I’m thrilled to share a few highlights that I think any book lover would appreciate. Starting with the Smoke & Fire Series by A.A. Lewis — this series packs a punch with its intriguing storytelling and dynamic characters. I found myself drawn into the mix of suspense and emotion that keeps you flipping pages well into the night. Another standout was The Cat Behind The Curtain by Peter Scottsdale. This book offers a unique blend of mystery and heartfelt moments, perfect for readers who enjoy layered narratives. The title itself promises curiosity, and the story delivers richly. Dear Woman Of God by T. Lawren is a deeply inspiring read, combining spiritual reflections with personal growth. It’s a great pick for anyone looking to connect with faith-based themes and uplifting messages while enjoying a beautifully written narrative. Finally, Sent For Me by Dejah R Willow provides an engaging storyline with wholesome themes that are heartwarming and relatable. It’s refreshing to encounter stories that not only entertain but also nourish the soul. For readers looking to diversify their bookshelf, these books offer a wonderful range from mystery and fantasy to inspiring memoir-style storytelling. If you want to get lost in a good book this month, these picks are definitely worth exploring. Happy reading!

Books I’ve Read for The first Half of April
So far these 5 books have been the books I’ve read & April isn’t over. I’ve realized that the thriller books are not so much my interest right at the moment but I still read them because I do like them. Any suggestions on what I should read next? I’m always ready to add more to my list.
