Reading in April...

I didn't get quite as much reading done this month.  It was a busy school month and just busy in general! 



A Test of Wills
by Charles Todd
Enjoyable but I had a little trouble sticking with it, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for the book. I will probably read another in the series though.



What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
by Nathan Englander
I read this book for a book-club, otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up.  It is a collection of short stories, some I really enjoyed, others not so much. Overall I liked this book but would probably not read it again. 



The Space Between
by Diana Gabaldon
This is an Outlander Novella that fits in between book 7 and book 8.  It is hard to compare a novella to a regular Outlander book but I did enjoy this.  If you are a fan of the series you will enjoy any story that gives you more info on the characters. 



Unfair: The New Science of Criminal Injustice
by Adam Benforado
I really enjoyed this book though it did take me quite awhile to read. Twice, I set it down and misplaced it only to have it resurface a time later.  The book was fascinating and really makes you think about how our justice system works.  I do believe that the author is correct in saying that years from now we will look back and view our current legal system as antiquated as "justice" in the middle ages.  Science is proving that many of the processes we thought to be fair do not actually work. At times the book gets a little redundant but overall it is a thought provoking book about the American justice system. 



The Woman in the Window
by A. J. Finn
Liked this but didn't love it.  Definitely didn't love it as much as my Goodreads friends. 



Anne of Avonlea
by L. M. Montgomery
I always love Anne and this was no exception.  This is the second Anne book I have read with an online book club so I'm enjoying the slower pace of reading as well as the discussions. 



Twenty-One Days
by Anne Perry

I have been reading the books about the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt for years so I wasn't sure if I was ready for the series to feature their grown up son, Daniel Pitt. But, I shouldn't have worried, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one! The Knowledge by Martha Grimes I really enjoyed the latest Richard Jury mystery! This book features more of the jack & Hammer crew than we have seen in the last couple books so that made it even more enjoyable.

'til next time...
