Hey everyone! Whew! I can't believe that April went by so fast! I had a nice Easter in April, even though we didn't do any Easter egg hunting! Meanwhile, I had gone to my cousin's baby shower and I really enjoyed it! We think that our cousin will have a baby girl and the baby is due in May, so I can't wait to meet our newest addition to our family! Also, I had done A LOT of book shopping in April (as you can tell on my various Stacking the Shelves posts)! So I can't wait to dive into these books soon!
On the Blog:
As I explained above, I had done a lot of book shopping in April and I ended up getting a ton of awesome books which included "The Fault in Our Stars," "Wonder Woman: Warbringer," "This Savage Song," and "Our Dark Duet." I can't wait to read these books soon! As for my month in reading, it was FANTASTIC! I managed to read over 5 books for the month with 2 rereads! It was so much better from last month's 2 books and I'm hoping to keep this up in May!

I’m glad you had a nice Easter and got a lot of reading done. I hope you have an excellent May!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks!
DeleteGood to hear you had a great reading month and some buying ... which is always fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongrats on all the reading you got done in April! Glad that you're enjoying This Savage Song; I love Victoria Schwab!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books. I'll be checking them out.
Have a great day!
Thanks! You too!
DeleteGlad to hear you were able to read more books. And I hope you will love Six of Crows such a great duology.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a great Easter! The Hate U Give is one of my all time favorite books so I really hope you enjoy it. I have also read When Dimple Met Rishi and This Savage Song. They weren't my absolute favorites but they were still good reads! I hope you enjoy them! I have Children of Blood and Bone on my TBR as well. I actually bought it in April so I'm hoping to get to it this month.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful May!
