Monthly Bookshelf Review - April 2020

I genuinely thought I was going to do a lot more reading in April, with what I expected to be extra time at home. Well, I did have some extra time, but not as much as I thought, and I've been spending it on other pursuits. And often I was not able to focus on reading - imagine that. Here's what I've been working on!

April's Books Completed and Reviewed

The Chisholm Trail Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo - Headstrong Eliza has to turn to detective and bodyguard Wyatt for help, not realizing he is her childhood friend that she thought dead. (Read my full review HERE)



The House at the End of the Moor by Michelle Griep - An opera singer flees to a lonely part of England, but realizes she may need to face down her past after taking in an injured man who has escaped Dartmoor Prison and hears his story of wrongful imprisonment. (Read my full review HERE)

During April I started reading:

A Murderous Relation by Deanna Raybourn - I was so excited to be able to get started on the newest Veronica Speedwell mystery. In this one, she and Stoker are prevailed upon to retrieve a piece of jewelry that could bring scandal to the royal family.

Redemption at the Eleventh Hour by Andrew Crown - A Jewish fugitive thinks he's found a new life and a woman to share it in a little fishing village, but a Roman soldier with revenge in mind shatters that hope.

During April I continued reading:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - finally reading this classic as I'm teaching a high school literature class. We are just wrapping this one up, so I really should try to write a review. I'm very behind on doing those for Lit class reads!




During April I shelved:

Until the Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette - Something else kept coming up and I've realized that I've barely looked at this one for a couple weeks. Will be getting back to it very soon, I hope!

Coming Up in May!

   
The Girl With the Louding Voice by Abi Dare
Claiming Mariah by Pam Hillman
