Ramblings Regarding April Reading

by Hyzie's Bookshelf

I did a massive amount of reading this month. A lot of that is due to the compulsive nature of the Pretty Little Liars series, perhaps, but I was just on some kind of reading rampage. I finished the aforementioned series, knocked out a couple of things that have been on my "To-be-read" list for way too long (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Coraline, and The Stepford Wives), and found a new series to get way-too-invested-in (Percy Jackson)... read more

Favorites - April by SlowReader's Kingdom

Man, have I been absent this month. Life is just so busy right now - or should I say work... Take this weekend: I had a 24 hour shift on Saturday and came home Sunday morning only to spend the whole day recovering. Try reading when you are tired. And on Monday I was back at work. The little free time I have I use for things like grocery shopping. I still got some reading done but I hardly found time for blogging. So please, excuse my absence. But let's talk about April. Let's just say I did not as well as last month. I listened to 3 audiobooks and finished reading 2 books. That's a little sad even for me. My favorites this month... read more

April 2015 Reads by HUNGER FOR KNOWLEDGE

I am so happy to see how much books I got done during this month, and it is all thanks to audiobooks. I only read one physical book (actually the one I am now reading, and will be finishing tomorrow), and rest reads were dedicated to audio editions. They make my life so much easier, and give me the ability to enjoy stories and worlds middle of busy days... read more

This month was a very productive reading month for me. Which i find kind of funny considering I literally have no time on my hands! So without further ado lets dive into my April reads!... read more

April wrap-up by It's a Books World

So I guess I can say April wasn't a big reading month for me, but with all the studying I've been doing it's still a lot. These are all the physical books I've read in April.

I decided to read a Roald Dahl novel and decided to read The Witches (review) and I read that one on my iPad. When I was reading Sense and Sensibility I got kinda in a reading slumb... read more

Books of March and Future Books of April

by Bay's Books

In my opinion it has been a great month. I have read a great deal of good books and once again I am satisfied with the amount of books I've read... Although two of them were plays - but Jeppe on the Hill was written in such old Danish that it reminded more of German, so that was a great challenge... read more

Reading Wrap Up -- Looking Back At April

by ANI'S BOOK ABYSS

April was a really good month in a lot of ways. Aside from completing my April books for the 2015 Reading Assignment Challenge, I also managed to read two books for this year's TBR Pile Challenge (granted, one of those books was part of both challenges). This month I started a total of six series, one of which I finished... read more

April 2015 Reading Round Up by Kitty Horror

Another slowish sort of month for reading with only 13 knocked off the TBR. I seemed to get a bit bogged down in the middle of the month. This may be due to reading fatigue, fatigue in general (am on leave at the moment and enjoying every sleep in) or loss of reading mojo. One thing I'm starting to regret is requesting so much from NG, I'm feeling the pressure of reading and getting the reviews out which means I'm not really looking forward to tackling anything I've requested... read more

April 2015 Reviews by Familiar Diversions

This wasn't a very productive month for me, as far as reading and reviewing goes. I probably did more TV watching than reading. I blame the grueling self-evaluation period at work (which is still going on, OMG) and the horrific weather. The best thing I read and reviewed this month... read more

April 2015 Wrap Up by Jessica (HDB)

I really don't want to count DNF books in my overall count, but it's tricky since I've honestly never DNF'd so many books in one month before. Lol. I'll figure it out. I might just add an extra book to my overall goal for each one I DNF. We shall see. Let's talk the good though, and that's the fact that there were so many good books this month!... read more

April Reads by Paul Read or Dead

Best month of the year so far for number of reads + Cruelty finale, a new John Connolly and Clive Barkers Scarlet Gospels... read more

April Stats by Susana "Lost in Fantasy Land"

All time favourite Book: Valiant, which was AMAZING. Honestly, all the stars to this story. Second place to Sherry Thomas' contemporary romance, The one In my Heart. Third place to... read more

April Reads by NOSTALGIA READER

I've upped my challenge from 30 to 50, now that it looks a lot more attainable. This semester made me skeptical I'd ever have time to read for fun ever again, but now that summer break is upon us, all of a sudden I have all the time to read. Time to get cracking on those self-imposed challenges!... read more

April Round-Up by SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady

The best reads of the month: Louise Penny's The Long Way Home, and two historical mysteries by Will Thomas, Some Danger Involved and To Kingdom Come. Underwhelmed: Medium Dead, by Paula Paul.

April Wrap Up by want a real life adventure? come to Australia we have spiders bigger than your hand.

So everyone is doing an April wrap up and i feel left out... so i thought i'd do one as well, even though i barely read any books, the actual number is 2... oh well. So this month wasn't a great one for me, the two books that I read where alright, but thats about it really - they both had issues that stopped me from devouring them, so i took a little longer than i normal would to read them...like 2 weeks each, oops... read more

Reading Black Iris + April Book Haul + Giveaway by Christina Reads YA

Hey, everyone! Since I already posted my March / half of April recap, I figured that I'd post a book haul covering what I received for the last half of April and discuss what I've been reading in this latter half. I've received a bunch of books, and I know that I won't be able to read them anytime soon, so I'm passing them onto anyone who's interested in this giveaway... read more

April Wrap Up by Line Bookaholic

In the month of April, I read 8 books and 1 graphic novel. I also listened to the Audible version of Eleanor and Park (By Rainbow Rowell), but I haven't completed it yet. Well, that was not bad but I hoped to read more during the month. I had difficulties with Crown of Midnight because I did not really enjoy Throne of Glass... read more

April Wrap Up by sunsetxcocktail

After a fairly slow start to the year in books, I was averaging maybe 10 to 15 a books a month. Dunno what changed this month but I had a phenomenal book month. Final count for April was 31. 31 finished books. Plus 2 DNFs. I don't even know how I managed that. I did get a great start on my bookish bingo challenge. Sixteen squares crossed off... read more
