This Month in Reading - April 2026 Recap


Monthly Reading Total: 18 -
This was better than I thought as I was pretty distracted this month.  I did finish the month strong, so I think that helped quite a lot.

Type:

Print: 7

Ebook: 5 

Audio: 6

Genre:

Mystery - 9 

Fiction - 8

Romance - 1 

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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
    Great armchair traveling! I have been to England, Sierra Leone, Ohio and Australia.

  3. 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.

  4. You've had an impressive reading month, Katherine - especially given that you've been distracted!
