39 books out
I tried to go all of April without buying a book and people, I got really close. But I had to pick up a guidebook for a trip I'm going on, erm, today (more of which, next week) and while I could have waited to buy it today and had it count towards May, that would be kind of a cop-out.
Otherwise, review books made up the majority of what I read (or at least finished) this month. And I had to get a bunch of library books for a project, and didn't have time to read them yet, but that can't be helped.

How cool that you read my book! Thanks!
Wow, April was a crazy month for you! I'm very impressed.
My special lady friend bought Pop Apocalypse for Ecco. I'm sure she would thank you for reading it.
W.G. - I think it was a good buy. Oops, forgot to run it through the blurbinator! What I meant to say was it's "searing... an unforgettable journey through the human condition."
