I mostly read nonfiction in April, so this was a hard choice.

pickHilarious without being trivial; factual without being stuffy. If you like Mitchell, or history, or things English, you should read this book. If you don‘t like those things, you should read this book and maybe you would. Favorite quote below.
Random book from our home library:
📖 Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir
A #kindledeal for anyone interested in the Queen Mum (and her fondness for cocktails 😄). #ebookdeals
pickLovely and meandering in the best possible way. Seriously, I‘m not sure how Queen Elizabeth‘s handbags haven‘t gotten some kind of honour for their decades of silent and faithful service. I got oddly emotional at points, especially later in the book (maybe because I personally remember the emotion of those moments). I‘m glad it ended shortly after William and Kate‘s wedding, because I bawled at the end of The Crown and could not handle that again.
pickI listened to the audio and thought this was very good. In the past few years, I‘ve read some about Victoria, so I don‘t think anything in this book came as a surprise, but it was interesting and I feel like the author‘s writing style is easy to “read” (or, in my case, listen to!).
pickThis book was even more beautiful than the first! I love Rebecca Ross‘ immersive writing style. I highly recommend reading this duology.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThe medievalish art on the cover of this giant graphic novel made me want to read it. I agree with other readers that it felt a bit long, though I still liked it. It was very educational on what life was like living as a nun and a scorned and punished woman on a desolate island. *Loosely inspired by the exile of Queen Elizabeth 1 by her sister Queen Mary in the 16th century.
