I read ten books in April, all fiction: eight novels and two novellas. And I didn’t abandon any of the books I started. It was a very good reading month, with ratings ranging from 3 stars to 5 stars, with an average of 4 stars for the month.

1. LEVERAGE IN DEATH (In Death #47) by JD Robb

Crime Fiction, Futuristic, 3 stars
