April 2023 Reading Wrap Up
In April, I enjoyed some varied reads. Out of the 10 books completed, I had one 4.5-star read, seven 4-star reads, one 3.5–star read, and one 3-star read.
My most memorable fiction read this month is Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb, a unique mystery set in the world of classical music.
