April was the slowest reading month for me in at least 4 years! I read 8 books with two clear favorites, a few I really liked, and a couple that were just okay.

Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins, the third book in the Gideon’s Cove romance trilogy. 5 stars!

The Decomposition of Jack by Kristin O’Donnell Tubb, a great book for middle schoolers who are into gross things or science. 5 stars!

Feeding Dangerously: On the Ground with Jose Andres and World Central Kitchen by Jose Andres, Steve Orlando, and Alberto Ponticelli. A terrific graphic novel about the heartwarming organization that is making the world a better place. Read it and donate. 4 stars!

Things Past Telling by Sheila Williams. Our book club pick this month. A fresh take on the harrowing and horrific journey of the people stolen from their homes and brought to America as slaves. 4 stars!

The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict. Just because you’re a genius doesn’t make you a good husband or father. 3.5 stars!

Life without Nico by Andrea Mariana and Francisco Javier Olea. A sweet kids picture book about a friend moving away and how you can move on and still have a place for them in your life. 3.5 stars!

Trust Me by Hank Phillippi Ryan frustrated me, but it was a long thriller and I made it to the end so that’s something. 3 stars.

Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn. I love romances, but just couldn’t get into this one. 3 stars.
