Here is my reading log from April 2015. April was another month where I binge-read fantasy / young-adult books. Yup. On April 2, and April 3, I was sick and wasn’t doing well. So I just read all those novellas!

\n

Looking back at the past months of this year, I have identified that this binge-reading is a problem. So starting from the second half of May 2015, I now have a Rule which says that I can read fantasy / historical fiction only on a cardio machine like the Elliptical or treadmill or the spin machine – thanks to Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives \"\"by Gretchen Rubin, the current book I’m reading. I’m sure I’ll write a dedicated blog post about this rule, and about the book too in the coming days.

\n

The best book I read in April was The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work \"\"by Scott Berkun. You can read my summary here.

\n

Other books you should take a look at:

\n

A Tale of Red Riding: Rise Of The Alpha Huntress \"\"by Neo Edmund – This is the first time I was almost tempted to pick a fantasy/steam-punk/re-spun fairy tale as the book of the month. I totally absolutely fell in love with this book. And it is available on Kindle Unlimited\"\"!

\n

You Are a Writer (So Start Acting Like One) \"\"by Jeff Goins – I really liked this book. It helped be get back to writing regularly and posting regularly here. The book is part kick-in-the-pants, part encouragement, motivation and has a few tricks which helped me claim my identitya s a writer. If you are a writer – as in write anything – you should take a look. And it is available on Kindle Unlimited\"\"!
