April 2022 Reading Summary

Overall it was a good reading month. It was however a month when I gave up on books, 3 to be exact. I'm glad I tried them but I just couldn't complete. Maybe my patience level isn't what it used to be. I always find it difficult not to complete a book I've started. Lots of smaller books this month as well, mainly 50's & 60's Sci-Fi adventures. All good fun. Anyway, below is my summary, some stats and Challenge updates.
