April Books - 2015 Real Book Challenge

Lots of reading in the month of April. 20 books, in fact, and 7 of them were real. At 1/3 of the way through the Real Book Challenge, I'm in decent shape to reach my goal.

2015 Real Book Challenge Goal: 50
April 2015 Real Books: 7
Number Of Books Still To Read To Hit Goal: 24

Best book of the month? Only With You, by Lauren Layne, and Love And Other Unknown Variables, by Shannon Lee Alexander. The first is a NA contemporary with wicked chemistry and amazing emotional depth. The second was sad but had awe inspiring emotional balance and tremendous impact.

Least favourite book this month? Whatever It Takes, by J. M. Stewart, although it was not on my real books list. The opening was annoyingly repetitive, the main character was selfish, and the sex bordered on ridiculous with all the aching and trembling. The story needed more editing.

The real books I read in April are:
