In the month of April I read 5 books, 4 were print/eBook and one was an audiobook. I did start another book but have not finished it yet. I decided that I was going to give audiobooks another chance and the story that I listened to actually worked well for me. I’m not sure that I’m going to continue with audiobooks though. As always the books will be listed in the order that I read them with Goodreads links.
