I finished 24 titles (3 up, 1 down from last April), with an equivalent of 6,222 pages or the equivalent (547 up from last month), and gave them an average of 3.8 stars (.13 up). There was one DNF, too. Sure, four of those were children’s books, so we’re not talking about a lot of effort.

Speaking of things I didn’t do, I didn’t finish almost every post I tried last month. I did manage to eke out a few posts, though, as you’ll see.

So, here’s what happened here in April.
