April reading wrap-up

April was a pretty kick ass month for me, both reading AND otherwise. Not only did I get a bunch of reading done but I was in Ireland and London and that was so much fun and I'm ready to go back now please. Plus the weather around here has gone from miserable to still a lot of miserable but with some sunshine that makes you think it's warmer out than it actually is. So, you know, improvement!

General reading goals are the same as always: read more non-white people, more people from non-US or UK countries, read more stuff written before I was born. How am I currently doing towards that end? Right now I'm reading Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (written in the 2000s by a British white lady) and A Clash of Kings (written in the 2000s by an American white guy) so yeah, things are going swell.
