april reading wrap-up!

Spread the love

It’s officially May (I’m not sure how), so that mean it’s time for my April reading wrap-up!

April wasn’t a great reading month for me as I hit a pretty big slump about halfway through.

Which I totally blame my friend for jinxing my amazing reading streak, but that’s beside the point.

I did end up reading three great-ish books last month!

  1. This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens

I ended up rating this book a three stars. There were many things that I deeply disliked about this book, and it took me forever to get through.

However, it did have some redeeming qualities!

Although, the first book I read by this author, I wasn’t a big fan of. So, maybe this author isn’t for me, and I won’t be continuing with this author in the future.

  1. Talk Flirty to Me by Livy Hart

Super cringy title I know, but this book was a five star. Hands down.

It was a beautifully written second chance romance with passion and humor that kept me turning the page.

The beginning was a bit slow to get into, so I wasn’t sure it was going to be a five star, but that feeling quickly emerged as I continued reading.

It was extremely cute, and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

  1. The Darkest Note by Neila Alarcon

This is the first book in a trilogy, and I started reading the second one … but I haven’t finished it yet.

I was pleasantly surprised with this book, and I rated it a four point five. It was a great read, but I didn’t get that five star feeling like I did with Talk Flirty to Me.

I found this book on TikTok, and recs from there are wishy-washy.

But! I did have a great time reading this, and hopefully I can finish the series this month!


Okay, I might take back my great-ish statement. It started rough with This Time Next Year, but things quickly went up with the next two books.

I had a rating average of four stars last month. That is pretty great!

Let me know what YOU read in April! And if you’ve hit a slump like I have.

(I partially have my newest obsession with professional hockey to blame.)

Also, guess who FINALLY has Happy Place in her possession!

Me! That’s who.

I picked it up this past weekend when I was out shopping and cannot WAIT to read it this month!
