Hello friends and my fellow bookworms, today I am sharing with you the books I have been reading in April 2022. It has been another busy month, with the school’s two week Easter break inserted in the middle, where I haven’t always found as much time as I would have liked for reading, however I still have some wonderful books to talk about.
First, on Easter Sunday, I finished off my journey through the Lenten guide,Β ForgivenΒ by Tim Chester (2022), that was given out at my church. This was an inspiring Christian book of short readings and discussions of theΒ Book of Hebrews for each day of Lent, which I found easy to read and helpful for my faith. A good solid read. ββ
Next, still in the Easter break, I finished off another long-term read of a Christian non-fiction,Β Pray For Us by Meg Hunter-Kilmer (2021). I thought this was a very interesting read exploring the lesser-known lives of seventy-five extraordinary people whose human struggles and limitations reveal the power of Godβs grace. A very good read.
Over the month, I have continued to make slow but steady progress through the weighty Victorian classic tome, Little DorritΒ by Charles Dickens (1855), which was my result forΒ The Classics Clubβs 29th Spin event. I am now just over half way through this satirical and delightful tale of little Amy Dorrit and her family, which feels almost like a re-read, as I have such fond memories of the BBCβs 2008 TV series. I have also found it helpful to switch from my Kindle to a physical copy I got from the library.
Alongside all of these, I have also continued to dip in and out of theΒ Celtic Daily Prayer: Book OneΒ by the Northumbria Community (2015) and myΒ Holy Bible.Β
So in the past month I have read five books, two of which I have completed. Not bad at all, considering that April has been another busy month. As for my pick of the month that has to go to Pray For Us by Meg Hunter-Kilmer! π

Thank you, Jenni Elyse π
That sounds like a good month of reading, especially as Little Dorrit is such a long book. I hope you enjoy whatever you read in May!
Thank you, Helen π
Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome, Olivia and thank for stopping by and commenting. It is always nice to hear from a new face. π
I’ll have to look up the Meg Hunter-Kilmer book. It sounds like a good one to dip in and out of. I enjoyed some good Lenten reading this year, too.
Kelly, I am glad to hear you also enjoyed some good Lenten reading this year as well. Pray For Us was the perfect book to dip in and out of, because each chapter is broken up into even smaller sections on each saint/inspiring Christian. I hope you will enjoy it, if you have the chance to read it. π
These all sound like wonderful reads- and perfect for the season!
They were all pretty wonderful and certainly were perfect for the season. π
