April 2026 Reading Round-Up

The Subtle Art of Folding Space by John Chu

Favorite book I read in April 2026

Yeah, I will definitely be nominating The Subtle Art of Folding Space for awards next year.

Books I COMPLETED

I read 5 books in April and started/continued 2 other books. I didn’t read as much because I got swept up into a reading-related project.

So. I wanted to re-read a book (Maia Kobabe’s Genderqueer) that I was sure that I owned as an ebook. I couldn’t find it. Instead I found pockets and stashes of ebooks scattered over so many folders and devices and servers. Now I am trying to consolidate my ebook collection (and back it up.) I finally cracked Calibre and got it to work for me! I need to clean up my records! LibraryThing works too, but it requires so much effort. I spend too much time trying to find the correct edition, add it to my library, then the title is in Spanish, I have make more edits, and sigh. But it is very easy to get my data out of LT.

Still haven’t found the Kobabe book; however, I have found so many other books and comics that I want to read.

I’ve included snippets from my reviews and additional thoughts.

March Reading Round-Up

Hell's Heart by Alexis Hall

Favorite book I’ve read in March

You know when you start reading a book and enjoy it so much that you don’t want to finish it in case it disappoints you? I’m savoring Hell’s Heart.

Books I COMPLETED

I read 7 books in February and started/continued 4 other books. Unusually for me, I re-read two books that I had read just last year. Both of them were for book clubs or read-alongs. I forgot how much I like re-reading books. Why have I stopped re-reading books?

I’ve included snippets from my reviews and additional thoughts.
