Anyway... Can you believe that April is gone already? Seriously... where is the time going this year? It's so hard to believe that we're already in the fifth month of the year.
I guess you could say that I had a pretty good reading month in April, but I think I was in a reading slump. I read quite a few books that just didn't impress me, and it bummed me out a little bit.
Books I Read in April 2015
- Narvla's Celtic New Year by Therese Gilardi - This cute, little book was a NetGalley approval for me, and I enjoyed it. It's light and fluffy, and it would be the perfect kind of book for when you're stuck inside on a rainy day. If you're interested in reading my review, it can be found here.
- Judy Blume by Kathleen Krull - This book is a part of the Women Who Broke the Rules series (a children's book series being published by Bloomsbury), and I thought it was wonderful. I'm sure kids will love reading and learning about the one and only Judy Blume. My review will be posted in June.
- Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson - I felt so left out because I hadn't read this title, so I gave it a try. It was good, but it wasn't the greatest book for me. My review can be found here.
- Kissing in America by Margo Rabb - This title releases later this month, and it's so good! I'm on the blog tour, so you'll be able to see my full review on May 21.
- Wild Hearts by Jessica Burkhart - This sickly sweet book releases on May 5. If you ask me, it was cute, but just a little too cute for my tastes. If you're interested in seeing what I had to say about it, please read my review.
- Boo by Neil Smith - This giveaway win was a DNF for me. My review will be posted soon.
- All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven - Again... I felt like I was missing out on something, so I read this book, and unfortunately, it was not a home run. There were just too many flaws for me to see it as this literary masterpiece that people are calling it. My review can be found here.
Looking Forward
May should be an eventful month for me. I'm currently tutoring two students, and with that, comes reading some books, and I might review them on the blog. I'll also be away for a few days later in the month as I'll be chaperoning a field trip.
Although I'm not able to go attend BEA, it looks like I'll be participating in Armchair BEA, an online blog event. The schedule can be found here, and if you're interested, feel free to register.
I've also got a lot of review copies on deck, so be prepared for reviews! I know I said that last month, and I failed miserably, but I didn't have very many April ARCs. So far, I have Boo and Kissing in America scheduled, but I've got a bunch of great titles for May and early June still to read and review.
Also, my sister is currently reading through Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen, so she'll be making her first guest appearance on the blog. Be sure to stop by on the day that she reviews it to say hi and introduce yourselves. We might make this a regular thing for her because she loves YA too.
