April Reading Wrap-Up

Challenges

The Readathon left me with lots of reviews to write, but not a lot of progress on my current challenges. I think I suffered from Triple Dog Dare rebound: I read all the things from January through March. ;)

I read two stories for Once Upon a Time:

“The Right Sort of Monsters” by Kelly Sandoval
“The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by A. S. Byatt

Finished in April

Gerald’s Game by Stephen King (#readMyOwnDamnBooks)

Notes

I have two ARCs for May, but doing #smashYourStack when I only read about four books a month is kind of silly. I *am* going to try to do another month of no acquisitions.
