Welcome to my April 2026 Wrap-Up! This month, I listened to 8 audiobooks. Some of these have already been reviewed, while others have reviews scheduled to post a little later. A few titles were actually read in previous months, but I held off on sharing my thoughts until closer to their official publication dates.

What a great reading month! This makes me want to take up a reading challenge, but I’m still deciding whether to read new books or reread the ones I already have so I can review them on my blog. Haha.

Darn it! My month was so busy I missed out on your Who Wears It Better Post for April sadly. :-(. Looks like some good books though! I need to get caught up on all your reviews. Here’s hoping May is a good month for reading as well!
