April '26 Books Read

 A very slow month of reading - only four books read this month - a new 'low' total for me. That top book is the only one previously unread. I had read the other three years ago and liked them. I decided to go back and reread them. All four are authored by Kate Morton.

Homecoming has been at the Library since 2023 but I had missed it as being a new book. Set in Australia, it begins with a shocking crime in 1959 which isn't solved until 20 years later when a London journalist returns to her native land in search of a story.

The Clockmaker's Daughter is from 2018, first read in January 2019 - noted as my favorite read for that month and 'highly recommend'. 

The Secret Keeper is from 2012. I read and reported on it in March 2013 Reading List. Rated as a 5.0 and described as one of the best books I've read.

The Lake House is from 2015, read in March 2016 and rated as a 4.5. I enjoyed rereading the last three as much as I did when I read them the first time and remembered very little about the first reads.

Just a friendly reminder to myself (and others) that if it's been awhile since you read a good book the first time, you might want to go back and reread it in the future.


The first book on my May books read list will be by one of my adopted authors and paid for by me so I am the first to read it. I'm only a few pages in but already loving it. 



One last April surprise was adding a new bird to my life list.*

It's not a great photo, but hidden among the Oak catkins is a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle).
