April 2021 Wrap Up

April ended up being so much crazier than I thought it was going to be. Early in the month, we woke up to our dog unable to use her back legs and we ended up at the vet a couple times and lots of medicine schedules to follow. Due to that, I didn’t blog the majority of the month and I also didn’t read quite as much as I have been.

In April, I read 26 books which equaled out to 11,016 pages. This equaled out to an average of 367.2 pages read each day. In the order in which I finished them, these are the books I read in April:

1. Kings of Quarantine by Caroline Peckman and Susanne Valenti
2. Kings of Lockdown by Caroline Peckman and Susanne Valenti
3. Kings of Anarchy by Caroline Peckman and Susanne Valenti
4. Queen of Quarantine by Caroline Peckman and Susanne Valenti

Of the 26 books I read in April, 17 of them were part of a series (65.4%), 5 were standalones (19.2%), and 4 were a reread (15.4%).

When it comes down to intended audience for the books I read, 2 of them were middle grade books (7.7%), 6 of them were young adult books (23.1%) and 18 of them were adult books (69.2%).
