April Reading Wrap Up 2026

TODAY IS MY 5 YEAR BLOGGING ANNIVERSARY!!! How should I celebrate?? And, THANK YOU for supporting me over these last 5 years! Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...April's reading stats.

April's reading had a very rocky start, with my mom's passing and funeral, but I think I made up for it the last half of the month, LOL. I read 18 books and had no DNFs, although I did start a nonfiction that I owned, and decided not to read it...so an unofficial DNF. All four of the nonfiction books had been started before this month. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

My Review:

1 & 2 Thessalonians: Hope in the Midst of Trails is my first introduction to the Bible Recap series. The Bible study can be used alongside the Bible Recap book or as its own Bible Study.

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I had a decent week. I was able to walk outside twice this week, which was such a blessing. Thursday was super nice and my boss decided we both needed a half day to enjoy the sunshine. I went to the lake beach that is nearby, walked, then settled in to read my book. I was there an hour and a half, in the 75 degree weather, and it was glorious! Also, the highlight of my week. We are going through a lot of hard and found out Thursday afternoon another member of the family has cancer. We are waiting to hear if it has spread or is confined. This weekend is on the cold/rainy side again, so it is mostly chores and cleaning on our radar. Do you have anything fun planned?

TTT-2026 Spring Pile of possibilities

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books on My Spring 2026 To-Read List. This is always fun and I have a gazillion books I want to read. Just and FYI, I am struggling and in a weird head space. My mom is not doing well, and is officially in hospice. I am grieving (anticipatory grief), and it is hard for me to focus and keep up with things. If you notice slack over the next few weeks (or past few weeks), this is why. I will be taking steps back and not always participating in all the things, however, I do plan to keep reading! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
