The month that was… April 2019

April has definitely been a better month than March, and I’m now well and truly over my reading slump, thanks to a few excellent novels I’ve read recently.  I’m also getting back into the swing of things blogging wise, too! 😀

I posted seven reviews in April, and the standout novels were:

• All Among the Barley by Melissa Harrison
• The Island by Ragnar Jónasson
• Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson

The other novels I reviewed were:

• Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver
• Star Crossed by Minnie Darke
• Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel
• My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

I also wrote up a summary of Dewey’s 24 Readathon, which is one of my favourite bookish events, being an excuse to sit and read for a weekend! 😀

TBR Watch

I’ve been so good this month, and I’ve only bought four books!  I received a few books to review as well, but my TBR continues to come down nicely.  Of course, May brings with it the Hay Festival, and I fully expect my numbers to increase dramatically as a result!
