Books I read (and listened to) in April | Reading in 2024

April was another slow reading month – one of the books I read was quite hefty so I only managed six books again. It may have only been five if one wasn’t a graphic novel and another a novella! I read 1,116 pages and listened to 45.58 hours – a little more than last month. I didn’t read any nonfiction this month so 100% was fiction. 50% of my reading was audio, 33% was print, and 17% I read on Kindle.
