What I’ve Read – April 2021

May 1, 2021 | What I've Read

April was a quieter month – on the reading front at least…

One picture book, two middle grade books, and a novel on audiobook was was total,

Can a Princess be a Firefighter? by Carole P. Roman was a cute picture book about an unconventional princess.

Dinosaur Cove: Snatched by the Dawn Thief by Rex Stone is a middle grade book that will appeal to dinosaur loving kids. Toffle Towers: Order in the Court by Tim Harris is one that I had been waiting on, the latest installment in the Toffle Towers series.

The last book was In the Valley of Blue Gums by JH Fletcher was an audiobook that was a fascinating story that spanned the life of Thea Anderson, but not told as a linear story.

While April wasn’t a big month for reading, I really enjoyed all the books I read. I hope you had a great month for reading.
