I really wanted April to be my catch up month. Outside of my own book club I had several books I wanted to finish so I could go into May with no lingering books! Well...that didn't quite work out. I did not finish "I Have Some Questions For You". I just didn't prioritize my reading of physical book like I did keeping my Kindle streak alive! Let's get to the reading recap.

WHAT WAS PLANNED FOR APRIL BOOK CLUBS

VBC: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, audiobook, 12h 15m

CBC: finish All The Dangerous Things and I Have Some Questions For You

HFBC: finish The Midwife of Auschwitz

Black background with three frames in different colors. Titles and authors listed of books read or listened to.

VBC: Little Women, 4.29 on FB Messenger Room

Purple petals all over. Audible Original at the top, title in the middle, narrator and cast below title. Yellow diagonal band on bottom right corner says only from audible.

Haven't seen any movie adaptation so why not listen to a full cast. Here's my review.

CBC: All The Dangerous Things (finished from February)

Body of water with ripples from the center, shadows around the water. Author's name at the top and title centered on image.

This was really good and absolutely terrifying as a mother! Here's my review.

HFBC: The Midwife of Auschwitz (finished from March)

Woman walking on train tracks with back to viewer, barb wire towards the viewer, birds flying above woman's head with a brick building in the distance.

Grab some more tissues because you're going to need them for this one. Here's my review.

EXTRAS: READ/LISTENED TO

Blue background, bowl of vanilla ice cream, whip cream and chocolate sauce over the ice cream, topped with a cherry, and chocolate chip cookie with a bite taken out of it next to the bowl

Ice Cold Murder (book 5 in A Cozy Baked Mystery series) by Kate Bell, eBook, 174 pages

This is as close to Maine as I hope to by at this time of year! Check out what I thought about this installment!

Love is Murder (book 6 in A Cozy Baked Mystery series) by Kate Bell, eBook, 170 pages

Love is in the air for this one. I'm noticing a trend in myself that I need to let go of how these women in cozy mysteries just insert themselves and that's what my review made me see.
