April Book Update

This year, I'm just going to keep track of books I read as I go through the year - not worrying about how many books I have waiting to be read or anything like that. So each month's roundup will just be a picture collage showing the books I've read, with a running tally for each month. I think I'll break down new (to me) books and re-reading as well. And maybe pick a favourite each month. This could change as the year goes on... Once again, I'll set my goal as 100 books - it's about what I have time for, more or less.

So, in April: new (to me) books read: 6; books re-read:  0
Favourite Book in April: A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World, C A Fletcher

in March:  new (to me) books read: 5; books re-read:  5
Favourite Book in March: The Wolf and the Watchman by Niklas Natt och Dag

in February:  new (to me) books read: 6; books re-read:  0
Favourite Book in February: Heart of a Samurai by Margi Preus

in January:  new (to me) books read: 6; books re-read: 3
Favourite book in January:  Once Upon a River, Diane Setterfield

In April, I read:

• A couple of books from my list, both of which I first picked up because of the titles (Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by C A Fletcher)
• Two children's books which we are going to read in year 6 next year (Pig Heart Boy, Malorie Blackman, Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer)
• Another book from my list (Warlight, Michael Ondaatje)
• A childrens' book which was in a stack in the house; this one will probably go into my classroom, next year (The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Kelly Barnhill)
