2. Got Approved for Young Mungo, by RB Media and Recorded Books (No Listing)~Was So Bad With Accent, I could not Follow. I would have just not finished, but really thought this was a great book, getting Published next day. I didn’t want to leave an awful review, so got Library Copy of Pub Day: 4/5 and Finished. Note: Audio Copy is Listed, Different Publisher, So Uncertain if the Quality is Different. I Would Not Recommend Audio for This! 4/6. Review is Based on that.

Happy 😊 Got 1 More Old Book Read, so 4 to go. Otherwise, up to date. Went from 94% to 95%.
I have just reviewed two quick reads and added another.
my Deliciously Healthy Menopause review - Lots of great information, but the recipes didn't fit in with my personal dietary restrictions and tastes. Still worth a read, especially if you can make some changes to your diet pre-menopause and potentially prevent some symptoms. 4.5 stars
my DIY Resin Crafting review - Excellent introduction to resin. It made me want to start making a bunch of crafts. 5 starsAdded:
Update:I've read two of mine so far, the first couple in a new cozy mystery series.

So I of course accepted. Can’t wait!
Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Got a widget for So I of course accepted. Can’t wait!"
I got that too, but I have it on hold. I remember the last book as so dark and I'm not up for another dark read right now... I'll probably end up accepting because the first one was so good and I want to be kept on their list.
Mod
I was thinking the same. I'd probably have to reread the second one. I loved the first book and remember it better than the second. Hmmm... maybe it wasn't as dark (or heavy?) as I recall.
Mod
I remember it delved much more into the politics of the town
I remember that too. Hopefully this one is not as political!
Apparently this is a month for adding more than reviewing for me. I just added two more: The Homewreckers
and My Wife Is Missing

Third review of the month - After Happily Ever After Unfortunately this one didn't work for me. I DNF at 42%. The MC was a doormat and I didn't like the decisions she was making. I didn't really care for her at all, so I wasn't invested in her story. By the time I gave up she was still on the downside and hadn't yet started her personal growth that I expect will happen at some point.

I've reviewed three, but added four, so I'm catching up. As long as I don't add a bunch more!

I've got one more I hope to read so hopefully, even one less is progress.
That's true, Lexi. Not sure if I'll manage one more this month, but I'll try! :)
I finished
last night and it was a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ super dark and brilliant!!
I just finished
, by Akwaeke Emezi. It’s a different type of book, but I really loved it. Here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...I think I will finish No Names to Be Given, published 8/21, so another old book out of the way. It is really quite good, just pushed it off for too long.
Mod
Will get back into it in May!
So happy that I took 5 books off my NetGalley list this month and resisted adding any! Progress....NetGalley Challenge – April

Great job, Kristie! That's my goal--to only have less than 10 on my "to-be-reviewed" shelf at any time. Getting there...
Thanks, Connie. I have a couple that I'm considering requesting, plus a couple of widgets I might accept right now, so that may not last long, but I'm trying. :)
During the month I read 10 books off my Netgalley which is good for me, but a lot of my pending titles came through this month I am up to 2134 titles with 193 Feedback sent and my ratio is still 9%, but next month I think I can knock off a few more.

a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
