April 2020 Wrap Up
April was a fun month of reading for me. I’m working my way through my own books and narrowed it down by reading one color at a time! At the beginning of April I finished reading my pink books and then the rest of the month I started on reds! I read some great books and some not so great books and I learned something new about myself. Ironically, I was happy to find some books that weren’t great for me, so I could clear them from my shelf and move on to better ones. And what I learned this month is that I enjoy rereading books (I was convinced I really didn’t). I realized this when I reread two of my childhood favorites: “A Little Princess” and “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” April was another month of quarantine and I did have a lot of reading time, which is the bright side of this crazy situation. Below is how I rated everything on Goodreads!
