Top Books for April
This was in audiobook format and a reread, but honestly the one I totally enjoyed the best. It does make a good case for rereading when you have forgotten a good deal of it but you know you loved it!
Another audiobook. Set in southern England in 1940, in a small village. Amazing, superb narration and brilliant story.
Looking Forward to reading in May...
A new one from Emilie Richards that is published in June
And a new one in Brockmann's Troubleshooters series. So looking forward to it.

Great month! Thanks for sharing what you enjoyed, and for hosting our wrap-up links. Have a fabulous May!
ReplyDeleteI see some books I am tempted to add to my stacks, like The Chilbury Ladies' Choir. I hope you enjoy Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans.
Looks like you had a great month! Enjoy May!
ReplyDeleteA good month :)
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome! Sorry to see you had a DNF. Happy May!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great month in reading. Some good books there. I want to read Wendy Wax and Emilie Richards some day. I think I would like their books.
ReplyDeleteFabulous month! I love all your details.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see your stats for the month, Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteHappy May!!! You had a great April - and I see we read some of the same books :) I have the Kate Morton book sitting on my shelf - I've read a few of her other books and have really enjoyed them. The Forgotten Garden is one of my favorite books!
ReplyDeleteso glad you discovered Kate Morton, I devoured all her books. My favorite is still The Forgotten Garden
ReplyDeleteThe Chilbury Ladies Choir sounds good. I'm always in for a superb narration! Good job on reading your bookshelves!
ReplyDeleteAnother great month with a nice mix of books.
ReplyDeleteWow! 15 books! You sure had a good reading month! I've only read up to 6 books for April, but it was much more than in March!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed by how many books you read! Wow, 15 in one month. I only read 4 books in April, but they were all excellent. And I have been doing VERY poorly on my TBR challenge because I've been reading for Booktopia & my 2 book groups. Back to my own shelves soon!
