April Books 2021

It was a weekend. And I had my books half written up for today and then I just forgot what I wanted to say about some of them because I feel like I read them a million years ago. April was a million years long, right?

This is where Stories come in handy. Enjoy. 

I'm at 24 books for the year, but I'm at 25 overall (including May). I've slowed my reading way down in the last week and it helps me to take a break maybe one week a month. Anyone else? I was doing 1-2 books a week and that ends up being a lot when you have other things to take care of that/who depend your attention. 

 Apparently my story-editing was weird in this post with that extra "book" thrown in there. Must've been late at night or something? Who knows. But the reliability of a solid story is always there when it comes to Peter Swanson. The only book I didn't like was The Girl with a Clock for a Heart (and I hate that title?) but I was thinking I might try it again and see if I've changed my opinion in the last five years. 


The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives by Kristin Miller


The Secret Life of Violet Grant by Beatriz Williams


The Wife Before Me by Laura Elliot



Another Gospel? by Alisa Childers

Required reading. I listened to it on Audible. It's pretty important in the days of Christianity we are currently living. Universalism is rampant, but Apologetics focuses on the facts and logic and science behind the Bible. 

The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

I almost quit this one because it was just exhausting to me but I do like Hepworth so I kept going with some encouragement from Instagram :) 




And then I didn't finish:



What's the best book you've read so far in 2021? 

I can't lie: since I've figured out what I really like (thrillers or nonfiction about topics I'm truly interested in), I'm not quitting as many books. 

ICYMI: Yesterday was some memes because I don't know how anyone has the energy for anything else on a Monday.
