April 2022 Monthly Wrap-up

This is probably going to be really funny to my readers and I guess you’ll get to see how my brain works a little bit. Anyway, I’ve never read this many books in a year up to this point before and I realized if I pushed myself and read five books this month, I’d finish my 19th book in April. Why is this such a big deal? Well, if you know me IRL or you’ve been following my blog at all this month, then you know my birthday is April 19, and I thought it’d be kind of fun to read my 19th book in April just for funsies. I’m happy to report that I finished my 19th book during Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon on April 30th!

My favorite book I read in April was DEAR EMMIE BLUE by Lia Louis, followed very closely by A RIVER ENCHANTED by Rebecca Ross. My least favorite book was THE HORSE AND HIS BOY by CS Lewis.

    I think your 19th book on the 19th was awesome! (Happy belated birthday, btw).
    Dread Nation has been on my list for some time now. I read Darling Girl, (Have a giveaway on my blog currently for it.) and liked the dark retelling of Peter Pan. It was different. Hope you enjoy it too!
    Happy May!

    If all goes well (airline, Covid), I’ll be heading back to New York to visit my older daughter and family. That’s about 9 hours of reading between airport, flight, then train. I have several books I’m finishing so I’ll need to figure out what to start!

      Oh, that’ll be awesome! 😀 I hope you have a great flight full of awesome reading. Whenever I fly somewhere, I always sleep. Although, if the flight’s long enough, I’ll read.

    19 on 19!! Whoop!

    I just checked my total and it’s 16 – probably my worst to date total ever but I feel good about it. I AM reading so yay! and some months are better than others. I don’t feel pressured anymore so it’s still a win for me. Bad for blogging content though ha!

      Woot woot! 😀 I think that’s awesome, Karen! Reading and enjoyment are the main thing. If you’re not enjoying reading, then there’s no point. So, no pressure is great.
