Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2010

April was a month that I really found my blogging rhythm, I also discovered scheduled posts and am making the most of using the time i have. On the reading front it was interesting. At the start of the month I read three books in one day, a new record! And then the reading went back to normal. After four months I think I'm starting to find my voice and it's making blogging that much more fun every day.

My Favourite book for the month would have to be: Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

In April I read 10 books.

• Taken By Storm - Angela Morrison
• Midnight Pearls: A retelling of "The Little Mermaid" - Debbie Viguie
• Perfect Chemistry - Simone Elkeles
• Venom - Joan Brady
• Embers - Laura Bickle 
• Hex Hall - Rachael Hawkins
• Twilight: Graphic Novel Volume 1 - Stephanie Meyer & Kim Young
• Beautiful Creatures - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
• Sweet Dreams, Miss England - Iris Blobel 
• Can You Keep A Secret - Sophie Kinsella

I reviewed 6 books.

• My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters by Sydney Salter
• The Swan Kingdom by Zoe Marriott
• Taken by Storm by Angela Morrison
• Touch the Dark by Karen Chance
• Embers by Laura Bickle
• Hex Hall - Rachel Hawkins
  

I was successful in the April leg of the 12x12 Reading Challenge...my goal was 10 books :D

I bought 11 books - still trying to cut down

I received 2 books (my first ever review book! and a gift from my boyfriend)

My TBR Pile at the start of the month was 932 At the end of the month it is 1,018 (i think i'm going to have to start culling books)
