April has been another fab bookish month. I read and listened to a total of 19 books, including ARCs, abridged audiobooks, short stories, and children’s books! I read 10 books and listened to 9 audiobooks.
Favourites This Month
I loved these and definitely think you should add them to your TBRs! I reviewed Poles Apart, Passage from Nuala, Red River Road and The Outlaw Noble Salt. The Fountains of Silence was re-read so I won’t be reviewing it again, and I only finished Songbirds yesterday.
Bookish Travel
I love it when Yvo, Carla and Lynne post their armchair travels and I’ve been meaning to do the same for ages. I’ve decided to add it to these wrap ups rather than doing a separate post. In April I travelled to 17 countries which is brilliant!

Wow that’s a fantastic bookish AND travel month! So many countries… Yet another reason for me to get a copy of Every Spy A Traitor. 😉 Also, I love seeing The Outlaw Noble Salt and The Fountains Of Silence on your favorites list. xx

Great wrap up, Nicki. I am happy to see Songbirds as one of your favourites. Although my library doesn’t have the audiobook, I might use a credit to get it through audible. Wow, you really did a lot of armchair traveling in April. Great job. I hope May is just as good for you.
