I never recapped April nor predicted May. For the first time ever, April books are still being read. To be fair, the Lyndon Johnson series started in February so technically these leftovers are not specific either April nor May.
April was an oddball month in that my reading was all on the fly. I trained for another half marathon and that took a lot of my time. Not nearly as much as the full mara, but still…
Here are the Challenge books finished in April:
- King Lear – Shakespeare (not scheduled)
- Guernica – Van Hensbergen (not scheduled)
- Grand Tour – Tim Moore
- Green Thoughts – Eleanor Perenyi
- Alice in Sunderland – Bryan Talbot
- Considerable Town – M F K Fisher
- Don’t Eat This Book – Morgan Spurlock
Here are the just for fun books:
- Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work – John Gottman
- Spark Joy – Marie Kondo (not scheduled)
