1176148 Finished my first two Air Awakens (Air Awakens, #1) by Elise Kova and Fire Falling (Air Awakens, #2) by Elise Kova . Another interesting fantasy series that has me derailed from my reading plan, lol. I’m invested now gosh darn it! 🤣

Sad to hear about the three DNFs but I agree time is too precious to waste on a book you are not enjoying!

1176148 April update,

Per my usual MO my reading went off track with the start of spring. I am ok with that because I found two new series I liked enough to read them in their entirety. It was YA and graphic novels month but I ended up with less GN and an excessive YA list.

Read my PIFM but did not get to all my color challenge. Oh well still a great month of books. I also got to read two books I won in GR giveaways.

Number books read is 20 (1 box set), 10 new authors!

Total number of pages read is 8,018

May is Classics and Literary Fiction month. Nothing set in stone but definitely
The Master and Margarita
PachinkoThe Woman Watching

Considering Shirley but not sure if I want to commit to a Charlotte Brontë book this month.

1176148 Congratulations on the move. I am impressed that you managed time to read, when I moved I was brain dead and even though reading is relaxing I was to tired to try.

1176148 Looks like it was a very good month of reading. I was supposed to read The Six of Crows Duology Boxed Set but got side tracked by two other series. Determined to read it in May. Thanks for the heads up on the violence.

Oh, I remember reading this when it first came out in paperback and enjoyed it but now I am wondering how I would feel now rereading it.

I am definitely pushing The Vanishing Half and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents further up on my TBR. Also adding Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times to my TBR.

1176148 Finished my second pick Still Life by Sarah Winman . A wonderful character driven historical. 5 stars.
1176148 Finished Voodoo Academy (Gates of Eden The Voodoo Legacy #1) by Theophilus Monroe , 3 stars world building interesting but character development was lacking.

1176148 Darn, too late to sign up😢. Will just pick some from my 4K+ TBR, lol. Happy reading everyone!
1176148 Finish Terrier (Beka Cooper, #1) by Tamora Pierce An enjoyable YA fantasy set in a medieval setting where the young heroine is a police woman in training. A great mash up of fantasy and a police procedural. Four stars

1176148 I have Klara and the sun as a group read this month. Didn’t read the spoilers but am curious enough to bump this up to reading this weekend instead of next.

Finished my color challenge and PIFM books and 1 translated book.

For April I am going to attempt two more box sets and some graphic novels. The first read of the month was great so fingers crossed the trend continues.
