April Reading Possibilities

So far this year, with the exception of the last week, reading has been going along well.  I'm on track to my Goodreads goal of 45 for the year and every month so far I've accomplished books read off the Read Your Shelf Challenge prompts and some from my other goals as well.  April's prompt from the Read Your Shelf Challenge is "A Book with Your Initials in the Title".  Luckily for me that was an easy one to find lots of options for. So here are my possibilities for this month.  I'm including stragglers that I've started and haven't quite finished yet that are not in the picture and which I hope to wrap up this month.  One is study I'm doing with a friend and will take longer than the month of April.

What are you reading this month?

    I read By the Light of A Thousand Stars some time ago. Jamie's books are always interesting. I've heard of the book by Charles Martin but have not read it. I've read a lot of Wingate's novels but hadn't heard of that one.

    I "discovered" Anthony Trollope in the last year or two and have been working my way through his Chronicles of Barsetshire series. He was a contemporary of Dickens, and there are some similarities between them but differences as well. I'm reading Another Gospel by Alisa Childers and really enjoying it.

    I LOVED The Lost Girls of Paris. I just LOVE her books!! I"ve read them all.

    I started looking into The Maid but decided against it.

    I absolutely LOVED The Four Winds. A long book but SO GOOD....and I'm pretty sure I read A Thousand Splendid Suns but it was awhile ago....i definitely read his other book.....
    I was on the waiting list for the book of lost friends and never did get to the library to pick it up.

    I'll have to look for that one again.
    I'm finishing up a great one by Jacquelyn Mitchard called Two if By Sea. And I have 2 mysteries waiting for me.
