April 2023 in Retrospect: What I Read/Listened to/Wrote About

Okay, I’m a little late with this, but let’s look at my April. I read 27 titles (2 down from March, 4 up from last April), with an equivalent of 6,792+ pages or the equivalent (23 pages up from last month), and gave them an average of 3.59 stars (.17 down from last month). Largely, I’ve felt behind the whole month and didn’t get as much written as I’d planned on or expected to—I’ve kept up on the reading part of book blogging, but the whole blogging part has taken a hit. I’ll get back on top, I trust, but it’s bugging me a bit. Still—I can’t complain with the reading (quantity or quality).

So, here’s what happened here in April.
