April 2024 TBR

Last month, my goal was to finish some books that had been on multiple TBRs for a while and I finished 3 and am more than halfway through another. The final one is on my TBR for this month. However with that being said, I started reading some of my books in a series last month and also started some new series. Now the motivation is striking to finish some series. So in April, I am focusing on reading the remainder of the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep. I have books 16 through 19 in audiobook format, which means they will be read this month! Then the rest is just up to mood and honestly, whatever is ready for borrowing at the library off my holds list.

So far this year, I've finished 25 books (a third of my goal of 75) with 9 of those being last month. I feel pretty good about that pace and I'm really hopeful that I'm going to knock out a lot of old TBRs and finish some series this year!

My TBR for April:

  • Snared by Jennifer Estep
  • Venom in the Veins by Jennifer Estep
  • Sharpest Sting by Jennifer Estep
  • Last Strand by Jennifer Estep
  • Always Jane by Jenn Bennett
What are you planning on reading in April?
