Here we are! The books of April!<\/p>\n
One of my favorite books last month was actually a new release! Why Kill the Innocent<\/em><\/a> by C.S. Harris<\/a> is the latest entry in the Sebastian St. Cyr series, and like the last several books, it’s dark in places. But it’s also good–and the darkness is very much a part of that time.\u00a0 There were two audible books I really enjoyed, the first was The Rook, Audible Version<\/em><\/a> by Daniel O\u2019Malley<\/a> which is just as good as an audible book as it was to read, and Cat o\u2019 Nine Tales, Audible Version<\/em><\/a> by Faith Hunter<\/a> and narrated by Khristine Hvam. I really love her narration of Faith Hunter’s books, and since I’d finished listening all the Jane Yellowrock books, all I had left were this short-story collection.<\/p>\n I also very much enjoyed the K.J. Charles<\/a> books I read, although they are definitely not for everyone.<\/p>\n Fantasy, Historical<\/strong><\/p>\n Swordspoint<\/em><\/a> (1987) Ellen Kushner<\/a> (10\/10)<\/p>\n Fantasy, Romantic<\/strong><\/p>\n Dirk & Steele Mystery, Historical <\/strong><\/p>\n Why Kill the Innocent<\/em><\/a> (2018) C.S.

Seven re-reads, which is also seven books I have in multiple formats (either paper and ebook or ebook and audio).<\/p>\n Fantasy : 10 Genre-wise, there was lots of overlap of genres, but still mostly fantasy and mystery, which are my primary favorite genres.<\/p>\n Male : 3 And author-wise three male authors, and thirteen female authors, five books of which were written by women published under initials instead of a female name.<\/p>\n And those are the books of April!
