Taking full advantage of my quarantined life in April , I finished 20 books last month. Out of 20, I read 7 books out of 12 from my planned TBR. Overall it was a great month!
* Technically I read two classics, but I added the second one in mystery/thriller genre.
BOOKS I READ IN APRIL
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn : This was from my April TBR and my Introduction to Gillian Flynn. 3 Stars read - disturbing but a little underwhelming. Read my full review here
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie: This was my favourite read from the month. I just love classic mystery/thriller with ‘trapped in an island/house/cabin/jungle’ kind of premise and this was one of the best I have read with this trope. Full 5 Stars!

Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter : Another author I finally read from! It was completely disturbing and suspenseful. I was not a big fan of characters and there were few (racist) things that bothered me. Hence, overall gave this 4 Stars!
The Passengers We Cannot See by The Behrg: This was a netgalley ARC I got in March and finally read in April. This was a Collection of 15 horror short stories, few were quite innovative & I liked, few were just a slog to get through. Overall did not connect with the author's writing style. Gave 3 Stars!

Emma by Jane Austen: A Jane Austen classic I read after a very long time. It was okay, I just did not care for majority of this book. But really liked the Emma's character development and the premise. Gave 3 Stars to this!
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng : Very Sad and emotional book. I went into this expecting more mystery but it was a contemporary book at its core with a little bit mystery. Overall 4 Stars! You can read my full review here
Maiden Lane Series (BOOK #6 - #12.5) by Elizabeth Hoyt : A Historical Romance series which started few years ago but did not continue. Decided to pick this one again and managed to binge read the whole series. I read 7 books & 3 Novellas in this series. It was an awesome experience.
