April
was kind of a big month for me. First of
all, I started a blog!! Blogging was something I’d been wanting to do
for a while. Sometime last month I decided
to finally stop thinking about blogging and just actually do it. I’m so glad I did, and I’ve been having so
much fun.
Second,
my book club got to meet and talk with Maria V. Snyder. I had never been to a signing before, so that
in itself was exciting. But, we actually
got to sit down and talk with her for an hour.
She was so nice and down to earth and it was a blast just chatting with
her. I am definitely looking forward to
going to more book signings in the future!
So, I read a total of 9 books in April, which I guess isn’t too bad. Considering I didn’t really have a lot of free time to read. I have reviews for several of these, and some reviews that haven’t been posted yet. So, I will link them and you can just click on the covers to go to the reviews. Reviews coming soon for Shadows and Something Real. For more up to date statuses on what i'm reading friend me on Goodreads!
I
read quite a bit of 5 star books this month, which makes me happy. I also read a couple of books that almost got
5 stars as well, which is great.
So,
how is my Goodreads goal doing? Well,
not so great.
According
to Goodreads, I am 4 books behind. I don’t
like that. I’ve never been behind
before. Hopefully, I should be able to
catch up in May.
May TBR
I
don’t really do TBR’s much. I am very
much a mood reader, so there’s no predicting what I’ll read next. However, there are a couple of books that I
really would like to read.
Vanishing
Girls by
Lauren Oliver – I’ve had this one sitting around since it came out in March, and
I really want to read it this month.
The Winners
Crime by
Marie Rutkoski – I need to know what happens next! The Winners Curse was great and I can’t wait
to continue Kestrel and Arin’s story.
Obviously,
I’ll read more than just those two books in May. However, those are the two I’d really like to
get to sometime this month. I don’t
really make myself long TBRs because I never stick to them.
So,
that was my month in review! What about
you? Leave me a link to your April wrap
up/May TBR.
I haven't read Vanishing Girls, but I've heard good things about it! I must add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. It sounds just like something I would like. Hope you like it too!
DeleteWelcome to the blogosphere, Olivia! :D And it's so awesome that you've met Maria V. Snyder! I read Poison Study and loved it as well. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I hope you love The Winner's Crime! I didn't love it as much as Curse, but it was still a pretty good read. :)
Aimee @ Deadly Darlings
Thanks! <3 It was really awesome - she was the first author i'd ever met. I feel like not enough people have read Poison Study! Always great to meet a fellow Poison Study fan!
DeleteI'm hoping I like it too. I'm worried it will be too much of people not communicating and not enough action. I've heard that the ending is bad for The Winner's Crime, so I'll no doubt be anticipating the third book.
Ooh it's only been a month since you made your blog? Well in that case WELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE, GIRL! WE'RE ALL MAD HERE *creepy wink* Looks like you had a pretty good reading month! Something Real is so amazing, right? <3
ReplyDeleteTHANKS <3
DeleteSomething Real was unexpectedly amazing and completely blew me away. Can't wait to read more by Heather Demitrios!
You read so many books this month, Olivia! I'm amazed. And your reading challenge OMG! I am rooting for you to finish it because it's great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! <3
DeleteI almost read that many books last year, so if I push myself a little bit I'm hoping to reach it!
