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!
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
