Favorite Books of the Month:
Ms. Mebel Goes Back to the Chopping Block by Jesse Q. Sutanto - The beginning was a little slow but the last half was fantastic - especially the ending. Mebel is a character that will stay with me.
Soyangri Book Kitchen by Jee Hye Kim - This was a lovely quiet book with delightful book references.
This Month's Rereads:
A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie - one of my favorites for a reason!
Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery - same as above!
A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna - I was kind of meh on this book the first time I read it but it's definitely proof of just how much mood and expectations impact your reading experience. This time I really enjoyed it.
This Month's Armchair Travel:
Domestic Travel: I only visited one new state this month - North Carolina. I revisited Maine, Connecticut, Kentucky, and New York.
International: There was a lot of international travel! I visited England 7 times, Australia, South Korea, Canada, and 1960s Barbados.
How was your reading for April? Where did your reading take you?
You are doing great. I keep reading less ebooks because I fall asleep at bedtime. Audio is the only way I am keeping up in the daytime.

I tend to like the eBooks because they are so much easier to hold and don't have the glare when I am outside. That said, I have some physical books incoming that I really want to read.
ReplyDeleteGreat armchair traveling! I have been to England, Sierra Leone, Ohio and Australia.
Great balance there in types of books. I look forward to the Sutanto book. I am finding cozy fantasy a bit meh for me, but then again I totally agree that it is very often a mood thing.
ReplyDeleteYou've had an impressive reading month, Katherine - especially given that you've been distracted!
