Due to some health issues I faced this month, I didn't make much progress in many things - I only finished the book I started reading during March and haven't started the one picked for April yet :/

But yesterday, as if my sis knew my 2021 resolution about reading, she gifted me with 3 very intriguing books:  Una Madre by Alejandro Palomas, Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson.

So my plan is - if I feel better this week- to start reading one of these xD

I'm sorry hear that, I've been there, I'm really happy cause today I'm feeling like myself again, hope you feel like yourself again sonna too

Temptation is a word that always tempts and intrigues me in books, dramas and movies! Have fun xD

yeah, temptation, the guys sees the girl and already want to *** her heheheshauhsuhaushsashkkkkhahaha XD

For April, I completed A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare) and The Filigree Ball by Anna Katharine Green. Not counting whatever Shakespeare plays we did for English Lit, this is my first comedy of his. It was OK, but nothing transporting.  

The Filigree Ball was entertaining; Anna Katharine wrote really interesting and convoluted plots and, provided I'm in the mood for melodramatic, I mostly enjoy her books. 

I thought I would get a lot of reading done while I was on vacation, but I got caught up in other stuff and I used my remaining time to watch dramas. I don't have any solid reading plans for May. An online forum I'm part of will be reading Daniel Deronda (by George Eliot) and I'm thinking of tagging along because I've never read anything by her.  I'm also currently reading A Mind for Numbers (Barbara Oakley) and still reading China: A History (John Keay).

I also want to read more Shakespeare plays so I would appreciate recommendations for a short one that is not a comedy.

Everybody's sick this month XD

I have a book I want to read about China too, 

I don't know if Hamlet can be considered Comedy, but is short

I'm so not rich, lol. I got the majority of them through different ebook sales throughout the years, averaging about US$2.00. The only ones I spent real money on are 5 'contemporary' books she wrote early in her career; she even attempted to get these suppressed later, when she became popular. I bought them on Ebay because I couldn't find them in ebook format.

In my country her ebooks are even more expensive than the physical books tho, mine are physical that I searched around places and events throughout the years too :)

 LucianYaz:

I found this list online which arranges the plays in order of length, and Hamlet is last as having the most lines! Maybe I should just read it, nevertheless; I've always wanted to, anyway.

really, but is actually short, it was 144 pages the edition I've read
