Aaaand it's Which Books Did You Read Last Month? time again <3

I made a conscious decision to read my own things this month (as compared to March's "read nothing but course books and small extras if you have the time"). It's almost doubled the amount of books I read this month, with as bonus that I finished most of them.

Sadly, my brain is a sieve and the best I've got for you are the ones I talked about:

Spellwright by Blake Charlton
Goose Chase by Patrice Kindl
Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat
Howards End by E.M. Forster
The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones
Ann Veronica by H.G. Wells

It doesn't look like much until you remember I read about twice that and just can't recall titles. (Oh! No, I can! The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald, which I didn't actually finish, but I think that's the only one.)

It wasn't a terrific reading month for me with not loving anything I read, but I did enjoy most of it in some manner. May will be All About The Course Books. I suspect I'll be dipping in and out of shorter things here and there just to retain my sanity, though.

What about you? Did you have any favourites this months? Something you couldn't finish? Did you make any reading plans and did they work out if you did? Why (not)? Any plans for May?

Also, lastly, has anyone made any bookish posts for the 3 weeks fest that they'd like to share links for?

No, the Cherryh aren't rereads. I got the first 3 books ages ago, but always put them down while still being within the dreadful first 3 chapters. :)
