By the Numbers-April Edition

[⚜️XAR]

This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from April 1st to April 30th, 2017.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. If you can come up with additional ones that fit the theme of the month, let us all know! Here are the prompts:

Fourth book in a series
Author's Fourth Book
Fourth Book on your TBR pile
A book published in April 2017
A book published in 2004
The fourth book you purchase in this month
Read a book for the fourth time
The fourth book that is recommended to you
The fourth book you rated at or above 4 stars this month

How about book with title or author name that starts with the fourth letter of the alphabet? or has a four-syllable word? (for the later months might need to switch to word with that number of letters in it....... can't think of many 12-syllable words.... :)
