April 2024 Sources: 05/02/24

Previous month's book sources

Sun Gallery and painting take up the majority of my time. I'm reading primarily at night.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In April I read 17 TBR books, down from the previous month's 18 TBR. One book was published in April. Four books were for research. None were from the library. My ROOB score for April was -4.14, up from March's -4.64. It was my second best April.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -4.4 and was too low. For May, I'm going with -4.0.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for April improved from -2.76 to -2.85.
