Howdy! How was the month of April for you?
I’m not reading nearly as much as I did last year and my monthly stacks reflect that. Going back to school has changed everything for me. I’m reading…but I’m reading textbooks. Hmph.
The lack of time has made me much pickier about which books I’ll spend my precious moments on. Here are the amazing books that I read in April:
Ruby by Cynthia Bond
The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon
Stay Where You Are & Then Leave by John Boyne
The Promise by Ann Weisgarber
Readathon Reads (Mini-reviews)
I’m gobbling up The Walking Dead. It’s a good way to get my zombie drama fix until the next season starts.
I hope you’ve all had a great reading month. Here’s to May!
The Relentless Reader 
Here's to May yes! I hope that I get to read more this month, but work is so hectic! I'm finally ahead with goodreads, so I really don't want to mess that up.

I didn't know you're going back to school?! What are you studying?! I'm never surprised at how much school can get in the way of reading. 🙂

I need a zombie fix before the season begins again, too. So hard to wait in between! I don't normally *read* zombie stuff, but maybe I'd do okay with these. Or maybe I should try World War Z. Hmmm… choices.

Um, you still did pretty well for a slow month! Are you going to school through the summer or will that be dedicated to reading?

Amen for picking carefully. I feel like I've been doing that so far this school year (thank God summer is coming) because of the multiple jobs and my day job being super stinking busy.

You might be “behind” but you’re still way ahead of me!

I've never read any zombie stuff either! These are good, if a little mindless 😉 They're not nearly as layered an awesome as the show.

You're school schedule always sounds extra crazy to me though, it's amazing you can ever get a book in! I wish every reader could hit the lottery and have all the time in the world 😀
