Another month has flown by and Easter, Passover and Ramadan are now behind us. Whichever, if any, of these festivals are special to you, I hope you had a memorable time.
It has been a good month of reading for me. For the first time in years I listened to an audio book. When I tried them in the past I never really got on well with it. I missed the opportunity to flick back a few pages if I lost my way. However, having given it a try again this month I enjoyed it very much.
I have always preferred my books to be in printed form and it is still my favourite. I do read e-books but I much prefer to read a physical book. I like the feel, smell and look of an actual book but other formats do have their place, and I have discovered that it is good for me to be open to other formats. How about you? Do you listen to books? Prefer an e-reader? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Did you read anything that you really enjoyed this month, in whatever format?
Here are the books that I have read this month:

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison - I'm aware that this is a classic but I found it to be a very depressing read.
