Whatever kind of work you want to share.
Just like all the other months you get as specific or as vauge as you want. You can spell out or find books with characters that share your profession.
You could be an accountant and spell it out or just spell out C. P. A. or you could just say you work in a downtown highrise and read books with city scapes on the cover.
You could be an accountant but also going to school and choose to share you are a student. You could be an accountant and choose to share you are a mom instead. You could be an accountant and choose to share you work with numbers and read books with numbers in the title.
You could mention your whole job, or just a part, favorite part or most hated such as "laundry" is my nemissis.

I think I'm going to go with spelling out Travel Agent for April.

Lol JoAnne, I went back and forth on the decision, but then figured I was most likely reading that many books in April so I should go for it. I just have to figure out some of the letters and surprisingly V is not the hardest one in there. I've got 2 books that fit V scheduled for next month.

I still have to do my taxes so not sure how much reading I'll get done at least the first 1/2 of April. You're right - sometimes the letters you think will be the hardest are the easier one and vice versa.
Happy Reading.
The vowels are usually my downfall. lolHappy reading to you too! I hope your taxes go well!
