\"Paper<\/a>Not that we had a lot of rain. But excluding the first two years of the pandemic, my April reading was about average for me.<\/p>\n

April is a rough month for me, so it was almost all rereads. Which is fine, as I like dropping into stories and worlds where I’d been happy before.<\/p>\n

Does not, however, do anything for my insanely large TBR.<\/p>\n

Interestingly (to me), the books I gravitated towards this month weren’t (for the most parts) highly rated favorites, but instead were stories that hit a specific mood. Lots of cozy mysteries, but also romances that leaned heavily towards normal, every day people finding love and acceptance.<\/p>\n

So don’t think that an average rating means those books aren’t worth reading–instead see them as stories that might have some flaws, but got the feelings of comfort and self-acceptance just right.<\/p>\n
