This Month: 22 Books Read, 210 Hours Spent
 

 

 

 Another bookishly indulgent month!
 
My ears were very busy this month with lots of mysteries, series and other delights, mostly keeping my brain occupied while I did the million things around the house that had to be done in the first two weeks of April.  I re-read a perennial favorite or two, spent a lot of time with Armand Gamache and his Canadian Brigadoon, found a couple of new authors to explore (Peter Lovesey and Robertson Davies) and suffered through a couple of real bombs, neither of which were the two books I actually marked DNF. I'm looking forward to an equally as fun-filled month of May.
