How did you do? Did you find a favorite amongst your reads? What do you have planned for May?
Wow, you had a great month of reading!!
Thanks, Kathy…I really enjoyed the variety of my books this month, too. Glad you could stop by!
Wow that is a lot of reading for one month! I used to keep track of my books per month, but that has fallen by the wayside in this busy year.
Yes, this year so far has been pretty productive. I keep track of all my reading and challenges here (except for the cozies).
Thanks for stopping by, Alyce.
