Y’all. This month started out so great, then I got really sick for a few weeks (NOT COVID, don’t worry y’all) and the last half just plummeted. I’m not in an awful book slump where I can’t even get myself to read a few pages a day.
I know its not a huge ordeal to stop reading for a bit, and this too shall pass, but it’s still weird not reading so many books. I’m focusing solely on the ARCs I’ve already received and titles that I’ve already pre-ordered so I can try to at least keep up with those.
I dd manage 17 books in the first chunk of April, and some good titles at that!
My favorites this month were: King of the South, Dark Skies, Voyager, Elantris and a A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
My least favorites were: The Kingdom of Back, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird and The Honey-Don’t List.

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about Kingdom of Back … it seems like a love-it-or-hate-it book. Sorry you fell on the didn’t-love-it side 😦

They’re good, but not as great as I was hoping by the time I Finished the series. I understand!

Well, I’m finding the mystery behind the first one a bit far-fetched.
