April List

April's list is pretty much just March's list with my new TBR.co books added and the candidates for the new World Lit class novel. I actually did a pretty good job with my spring break sub list, knocking out four books. In May, I'm going to do a reset and change things up. Four months seems like a good run for some of this stuff, and it's fun pulling random books :-)
