Month in Review: April 2018

Happy
April!!! Well, we’ve moved out of our house…and now are living in temporary housing as we wait for the short sale to get approved for the house we really want to buy! Can I just tell you how much I hate packing? Thank goodness for audio books – they certainly were my savior during all the hours of packing!

    Oh a great reading month so audiobooks sure did help with the reading and packing. I do hope you will be in your new house soon. How exciting, a lot of work but in the end I hope it is fantastic.

    18 books is impressive especially with moving! I think I completely shut down last time we moved – though I could see how audio books would help a lot!

    Hi,
    Great list of books. I've been wanting to start the Private Series by James Patterson. I'll be adding that to my Series books list. Have a great day!
