So April fairly whipped by pretty speedily due to a general busy-ness of life and work. It was a pretty good reading month at the same time, but lower numbers than is traditional. (This would be due to a big mix of things, including my vision still having problems. Reading with one eye tends to slow things down, I’ve found.)
(To clarify: I still have my other eye, but the dodgy one doesn’t see very well a lot of the time. Thus the “one eye” comment. I didn’t mean that I was now Cyclops [although I might feel like that sometimes!]. I had no idea how much my reading would slow down due to this. :-} )
The reads for April included:
- The Limit – Ada Leverson (1911)
- Plan B – Jonathon Tropper (2011) – no blog post
- Friends at Thrush Green – Miss Read (1991)
- This Side of Paradise – F. Scott Fitzgerald (1920)
- A Curious Mind – Brian Grazer/Charles Fishman (2013)
So to the numbers:
Total number of books read in April: 5
Total number of pages read: 1,507 pages (av. 301).
Fiction/Non-Fiction: 4 fiction / 1 non-fiction; 0 play.
Diversity: 0 POC (that’s a bit yikes for me.) 2 books by women.
Library books vs. books I owned (and thus removed from the home abode): 1 library book, 4 owned books and 0 e-books. (Yeah. Good on working on the TBR pile.)
Plans for May is to read, read, read. How glorious is that?
Just One More Page... 
I just read and loved an Ada Leverson and am on the look-out for more. And Miss Read is always a reliably good author – you don’t see many people reading her any more, do you?
I must admit that I haven’t seen that many people reading Miss Read or Ada Leverson, but these two reads fit the bill for me on several levels, so they worked for me. How’s life?
Oh yes, completely. I’ve been under the weather so you’ll find a slew of comfort reads on my blog at the moment – luckily my TBR always seems to have enough gentleness to offer, and if not, I have the FULL SET of Miss Reads!
