April 2019 - Wrap UP




WRAP   UP

This post is a few days late but it's been crazy busy around here, which seems to be the norm of late.

April kicked off with a trip across the country to Christian Fiction Reader's Retreat. I'm not a fan of flying but the long flight, exhaustion, was worth every minute of meeting other bloggers and author's face to face. 

A week after I returned home from Maryland, my oldest granddaughter turned 11 and suddenly I felt old. Me and my Nani-Monster!

Even with travel and birthday's I managed to read five books. In case you missed them you can read my reviews by following the links.

The Secrets of Paper and Ink by Lindsay Harrell

The Memory House by Rachel Hauck 

Far Side of the Sea by Kate Breslin 

Dear Daughters by Susie Davis

Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes 


The most popular post in April was a Top Ten Tuesday post titled I Pick Up a Book Because.

If travel and birthday's weren't crazy enough we've been in the middle of landscaping our backyard. Something we should've done when we built but didn't.
Here's a few pictures of the progress.





 It's supposed to be finished tomorrow. I'm seriously not holding my breath. But it has been fun watching our yucky dead grass backyard turn into a place I want to spend time outside reading, and maybe even blog. 😊😊

Coming up for review . . .

The Art of Rivers (Coastal Hearts BK 3) by Janet W. Ferguson

Sweet On You (Bradford Sisters BK 3) by Becky Wade

Moments We Forget (Thatcher Sisters BK 2) by Beth K. Vogt

Pages of Her Life by James L. Rubart


The INSPY Awards selected judges for the 2019 awards and I am honored to have been chosen as one of the judges for the Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense genre. My TBR will grow some to prepare for judging.

How was your April? Did you do anything exciting? Read a new author or genre?

What do you have planned for May? Tell me in the comments.
