Reading Roundup Wrapup: April 2023

Pick of the month: Royal Blood by Una McCormack. To be honest, kind of a weak month. I am not quite sure why I only ended up finishing six books, as I felt like I was reading fairly steadily (sickness aside), but nothing in particular stood out, so I went with this, a solid Doctor Who tie-in.

All books read:

1. Dragonsinger: Volume Two of the Harper Hall Trilogy by Anne McCaffrey
2. Dragondrums: Volume Three of the Harper Hall Trilogy by Anne McCaffrey
3. Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga
4. Batman/Wildcat by Chuck Dixon, Beau Smith, Sergio Cariello, et al.
5. Doctor Who: The Glamour Chronicles: Royal Blood by Una McCormack
6. The Masterharper of Pern by Anne McCaffrey 

All books acquired:

1. Ojo in Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson, illustrated by John R. Neill
2. Speedy in Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson, illustrated by John R. Neill
   
3. Star Trek: Prey, Book 1: Hell's Heart by John Jackson Miller
4. Doctor Who: The Glamour Chronicles: Royal Blood by Una McCormack
5. The Masterharper of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
6. Nerilka's Story: A Pern Adventure by Anne McCaffrey
7. The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall by Anne McCaffrey
8. Dragonseye by Anne McCaffrey
9. Lost Places: Stories by Sarah Pinsker
10. Fantastic 4 by Mark Millar & Bryan Hitch Omnibus by Mark Millar, Bryan Hitch, et al.
    

A lot of books this month! Dominated by the fact that I started to read some Pern books I already own, and I decided to flesh out what I had with some more stuff that interested me.

Currently reading:

• Black Panther Epic Collection: Panther’s Prey by Don McGregor, Sandy Plunkett, Gene Colan, Dwayne Turner, Denys Cowan, Don Hillsman II, et al.
• I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett
• Twenty-First Century Science Fiction edited by David G. Hartwell and Patrick Nielsen Hayden

4. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Missing by Una McCormack

Books remaining on "To be read" list: 675 (no change) 

Broke my run of three months of decrease, but it does make four months of no increase.
