Reading Wrap-up for April at Moonshine and Rosefire

Hello everyone out there and I hope that you all had a terrific reading month for yourselves. I am known as Rosefire around the Internet and this is my new personal reading blog. I originally posted my reviews over at my daughter's blog, Emeraldfire's Bookmark but am now in the process of transferring them all over to my own blog. My daughter makes blogging look like so much fun that I thought that I would try it out for myself! :)

Anyway, I started out April with 658 unread books lying around the house and ended the month with 649 books unread. All of the books that I acquired this month came from a Library Book Sale that we went to on the 18th (50 cents for paperbacks, $1.00 for hardcovers). The money goes to help our library's upkeep and stocking some latest releases.), Bookmooch and Paperback Swap.

Let me try to break down the influx for you:
