April 2025 Sources: 05/02/25

Previous month's book sources

Salmon is still missing. Kay is home for summer vacation. The trip to pick her up is why I read and blogged less.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In April I read 8 TBR books, down from the previous month's 20 TBR. Four were published in April. Eight titles were for research. None were reviews. None were from the library. My ROOB score for April was -2, up significantly from the previous month's -3.71. It was a so-so April but I enjoyed those new books tremendously.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -3.75 and did worse by 1.75. For May, I'm predicting a -3.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for April worsened slightly from -2.85 to -2.80. I think this is the first time I've recorded a worse average for the month of April.
