Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I was busy doing some spring cleaning and finished reading The Nightmare by Lars Keplar. I am working on a book review and hopefully will have it posted tomorrow.
In April I didn’t finish many books, I main focus was on finally finishing The Heart’s Invisible Furies. As I have only been reading it since February! I mostly did a lot of listening to audiobooks and toward the end of the month they were all non-fiction.
Fiction
The Truth According to Us by Annie Barrows
- 4 Stars
- Audiobook
- I really enjoyed this book the Romeyn family
- Interesting characters
- Loved the small town gossip
The Pursuit of Pearls by Jane Thynne
- 2 Stars
- This book did not live up to my expectations
- Slow paced
- I think it could have been cut down to around 300 pages
The Writing Desk by Rachel Hauck
- 2.5 Stars
- Audiobook
- Was not a fan of the main character Tenley
- Things were a little to convenient and farfetched
The Translation of Love by Lynne Kutsukake
- 3.5 Stars
- Audiobook
- Beautifully told
- Interesting to read about the occupation of Japan by Americans
The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne
- 5 Stars
- Loved it
- Epic
- Interesting characters
Non-Fiction
The Happiness Equation: Want Nothing + Do Nothing = Have Everything by Neil Pasricha
- 3 Stars
- Audiobook
- A quick and enjoyable
- Somewhat useful
- 3 Stars
- Audiobook
- An interesting listen
- A good general overview
- Lots of advice from different people so sometimes one person is telling you should invest this way and then another person says never do that. I think you just have to find out what works best for you.
- 3 Stars
- Audiobook
- It was interesting but I started to get bored towards the end
- Made me glad that I am Canadian and don’t have to worry about this
- I felt so angry that people who are meant to help care for others only end up caring about their own self-interest. People are just so greedy. Just makes you so sick.
Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best… and Learn From the Worst by Robert I. Sutton
- 2.5 Stars
- Audiobook
- It was ok
- I think I was burnout from non-fiction but I had a hard time paying attention and my mind would wander to other things.
I hope you like my April Wrap up. I am surprised that I manage to do this post before the middle of the month as I usually do. 😀 Have a great day!
