[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Share your three favourites of this month! :)

April has been rather disappointing for me, but these are the ones I've enjoyed the most.

Ryder An ongoing story being written on Ilona Andrews' blog.

Storm Glass by Jeff Wheeler

A Conspiracy in Belgravia by Sherry Thomas

[Rob]

My top three (I've completed only 3, but hope to finish a 4th before the month is out and one of those completed won't make the top 3.

The Kingdom of Liars - by Nick Martell.
The Shadow of What Was Lost - just 50% through but can tell it has a chance to jump over Kingdom of Liars.
Medallion Status: True Stories from Secret Rooms by John Hodgman.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I’m reading Kingdom of Liars right now and I’m not completely loving it.... hope it picks up.

My favs were:
Race the Sands - Sarah Beth Durst
Peace Talks - Jim Butcher
Blood of Empire - Brian McClellan

[Rob]

I enjoyed Blood of Empire when I read it a few months back but think it was the weakest of all 6 powder mage books. Kingdom of Liars picks up as you go along.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I agree - probably the weakest. They’re my favorites though, so a weak one is still hella good. It wasn’t as funny as the others as well. Good to know about KoL - I’m about halfway right now. It keeps giving me hope for a good payoff. I’ll stick with it.

I have started reading fanfictions in April and haven't read any published books in the month. I don't know if this counts but these are three fanfics I loved.

1. Harry Potter and the Rune Stone Path
2. Harry Crow
3. In this World and the Next

[Soo]

April isn't over yet! I can't pick top 3 until the month is over. lol

Excited about Peach Talks and eyeing Race the Sands. =)

Well I do not have three yet for the month, but then again this book I am putting up is an omnibus of technically three books in one volume so I will just go ahead and put it up here. :-)

A Subtle Agency Omnibus by Graeme Rodaughan - 5 stars.

1. The Land You Never Leave - Listened to this one on audible, loved it!
2. Ravencry - Slow start, big ending!
3. Nightchaser - Sort of gave me Skyward vibes in parts, well there were spaceships and stuff :-)

This is so hard! I decided to not count re-reads and narrowed it down to the 5 Stars.

- Musashi
- The Sparrow
- Tie: Zoe's Tale & Midnight Tides

Musashi is a translation and I'm not sure if the translation carried over all of the varied aspects that I bet the original has in it. The writing is simple but layered. There's tons of culture, folklore, philosophy and adventures in that book. It was thought provoking and bittersweet.

Sparrow was not like anything that I expected. I went into that story a bit blind and that was the best way to experience it! A complex story that ran the gauntlet of ideas and emotions.

I absolutely loved Zoe's Tale. It was a great coming of age story set in the Old Man's War world.

While Midnight Tides is not a favorite, it was the best of the five books I've read in the series. If all of the books were written like that one, I'd love the series more. =P

[Narilka]

My favorites were Murder of Crows and my continuation of The Belgariad.

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Two very different fantasies and a super interesting historical fiction:

[Montzalee]

Chickenlandia Mystery

Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death

Pushing Daisy

[Kirsten]

The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote by Elaine F. Weiss
My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh
A Scandalous Deal by Joanna Shupe
