April Wrap Up

April was kind of a mediocre to good month.  A total of 10 books were finished, which is quite good.  8 of these were audiobooks and one was all on my Kindle and another was partly on my Kindle and partly a hardcover from the library, when the Kindle version from the library ran out.  This is a very rare occurrence, since for the most part, I can read a book a week, give or take on my Kindle or as a physical book.  I didn't DNF as many books as I did last month, but more than I would have liked to.  I just can't see the sense of forcing myself to finish a book that I'm not enjoying.  Especially when I have so many books on my TBR and WTR lists and the purpose of reading, or at least for me, is enjoyment and relaxation.

The books I DNF'd were Trail of Broken Wings by Sejal Badani
                                         Beartown by Fredrick Backman
                                         and Midnight at the Wandering Vineyard by Jamie Raintree


Of those that I read:
1 was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It Had to be Fate (I really wasn't expecting that this would be that highly rated).
3 were 🌟🌟🌟🌟
4 were 🌟🌟🌟 and
2 were 🌟🌟
I didn't give any 🌟, but I was debating giving  Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder 1 star, but there were parts in the book that were interesting, but for the most part I did not enjoy the book and really do not recommend the book.

I ended April reading The Book Women of Troublesome Creek,  I am still early into it, just over 50 pages or so into it.  I'm not loving it, but I'm not hating it either.  The conversation is somewhat in the dialect they use in the Appalachians, so I'm having to get used to that.  Listening to it may have been a better way to ho, but I got this as an ARC and since the book won't be out until next week, I'm hoping to get it done around then.
