Book Spending
In New Zealand dollars: $38.95 which is about $29.19 in U.S. dollars. I did spend a little on some non-fiction books too, but not counting that here, as I won't be reviewing them, they're more like reflective reading for me! One on retirement, another by Pema Chodron and a book called Write it Down, Make It Happen - a goal setting book.
Blog Tip
The one I liked best this month was from Anna over at Herding Cats and Burning Soup. How to Make Unclickable Images. I used it to make my March image non clickable. Thanks Anna.
So how did your reading month pan out?

Your list is so organized, and I really like that you included a Top Books of the Month section, I might have to add that to mine in April.
ReplyDeleteWhitney, the problem is naming the top ones! Some readers get it down to one, but I find that really difficult.
DeleteWow 21 books!!! I am hoping to join this linkup sometime this afternoon. I see you got luanne rice books. Last kiss is a good one.
ReplyDeleteYes went on a buying spree for all her books in this series after reading Beach Girls and fell in love! Will hopefully enjoy them all!
DeleteI have not read a luanne rice book that I didn't love!!!
DeleteI know! Her The Lemon Orchard was great and got me started looking more at her writing, although I had read another one, don't remember the name but had an ice hockey guy in it!!
Delete21 books!! That's so awesome!! I am excited about the Nancy Thayer book. It sounds like the perfect summer read, and I've never read a book by that author. I've also heard that Zanetti's books are really good!
ReplyDeleteBrandi I heard from Anna at Herding Cats and Burning Soup that they are good so decided I'd try this first one!
DeleteWow! You've had a busy month! I plan to link up tomorrow morning - Virginia/USA time.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pat. I know this time difference thing is such a nuisance!! I'm sitting here in April now. That's why I see this as sort of a week party!
DeleteI agree!
DeleteYou certainly did get a lot of reading done this month! You must be a quick reader!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check out that un-clickable image post.
I've linked up my blog post! Thanks for hosting!
Candy - when you are home like me all day, plenty of time for reading! When I am not figuring out other stuff! Thanks for joining in.
DeleteAmazing month for books! Happy April reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Freda and a Happy April reading to yourself too.
DeleteWow...what a great reading month for you!!! I'll have to put the new Nancy Thayer on reserve at the library - I love listening to her books on audio! I agree with you and Viki - love Luanne Rice and haven't met a book of hers that I didn't like yet. Loved her Beach Girls book...I think they made that into a tv movie or miniseries here in the states a while back. Just finished reading Robyn Carr's newest one, Never Too Late - another author you can't go wrong with!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for putting this meme together and hosting it. I can't wait to visit everyone's post!!!
Kristin - I learned all this from you! Just by studying your blog I feel like you are my model and mentor!! I was besotted by Beach Girls and had to go get all the books in this beach series. Thanks for joining in.
DeleteLooks like you had a great month! I'm really behind on my reading goals, so need to carve out some time. Should be easier now that Bloggiesta is over, as I was spending a lot of last week working on my blog. Thanks for putting this meme together, and I'm looking forward to reading everyone's posts!
ReplyDeleteTerri @ Alexia's Books and Such...
Terri yes bloggiesta ate into reading in the last week. Thanks for joining in, looking forward to visiting your post.
DeleteLooks like you had a good month! I love how your list is organized. It may take a few months before I get a format that I like for my post.
ReplyDeleteFun meme! You got great participation!
Joy's Book Blog
I am still playing around with my format. Thanks for all your support Joy. I never even intended doing your challenge and then got hooked in!
DeleteHoly moly, 21 books! I read 17 and that is more than I have read in a month in a long time. Kudos on getting so many books read, I still haven't read my copy of Written in Red *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteA pleasure in store for you Sarah with Written in Red.
DeleteThat is some awesome reading! I'm so jealous! I think I managed, erm, 14? It was a very slow reading month. Not bad on book spending either! And thanks for the post shout out :) That was so nice of you :)
ReplyDelete14 is enormously good. I know if at least I note my book spending it keeps me honest, I can easily pile it up. (Eye roll). That was a great tip, I loved it.
DeleteYou had a great month in reading Kathryn! Congrats on the launch of your meme. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa.
