April's reads

April was a good book month. I don't know if I even have a favorite from the books I read this month. 

30. The prophecy of bane- Suzanne Collins
31. The curse of the warmbloods- Suzanne Collins 
32. The marks of secret- Suzanne Collins 
33. The code of claw- Suzanne Collins 
*34. The house at riverton- Kate Morton
35. Between shades of gray- Ruta Sepetys 
*36. Prisoner B-3087- Alari Gratz
37. Nineteen minutes- Jodi Picoult 

Okay, so the series by Suzanne Collins was a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed it. It was just fun. Predictable, and they were all similar, but an enjoyable read. 

I had mixed feelings about this book by Kate Morton. Typically, her books are told by different characters and in different time periods. Each has a mystery and a death- usually the mystery is the death. I LOVE them! This one, however, was only told by one character. I really enjoy this author and this was one of my favorites by her. 

Prisoner b-3087 was also a good read! It is a ww2 historical fiction book based on actual events. It was a quick read, but very interesting. 

My disappointment (if I can call it that) was nineteen minutes. Jodi Picoult usually researches the topics of her books thoroughly prior to writing. I've liked the few books I've read by her and have never known where exactly they would go. I had guessed the twist/ending by the end of the first few pages and was really disappointed that it wasn't a little bit more interesting. Maybe I've been reading so much that I can see where it's going or maybe it was just obvious. It definitely made me think though. I hope my children are never bullied. 

I'm counting on reading a lot of books in May. So hit me, what should I read???
