Update: April 2015 Reads and Reading Challenges
It’s time to update my reading for the month of April and to look forward to next months reads. To say that as far as reading goes April was a good month is a vast understatement. It was an exceptional reading month, as I finished SEVEN books! That brings my total of 2015 up to 19! Way, way above the average over the last several years!! Now all I have to do is keep it going!!
Here are the books that I read in April 2015 – The big three are The Chessmen, Dreamless and Endangered. While the other were good these three were great!! I haven’t posted my review yet of C J Box’s Endangered but it will be coming soon!!

Later today I will post my projected reads for May 2015!! I think I have them picked out, but maybe I may tweak the list a little.
