Wrap-Up

May 2, 2020 Leave a Comment


monthly wrap-up

I haven’t done one of these wrap-ups since *cough* December 2018, but, well, with everything going on, I figured I might as well try resurrecting it. So, here’s what I read and reviewed in April, and here’s what I have coming up on deck for May!

For the Goodreads Challenge, I’ve read 81 out of 220 books for the year.

Chaos ReigningSpellboundStarcrossedThe Fiery CrownPride, Prejudice, and Other FlavorsRecipe for PersuasionEvery Last BreathNothing to FearUntil the End

I’m planning a reread of the Consortium Rebellion in preparation for getting an ARC of Chaos Reigning (SQUEEEE!). I’m also planning on rereading Spellbound before diving into Starcrossed, and I’m very much looking forward to hanging out with my hedgehog-in-a-newsboy-cap and cinnamon roll rich dude again. Plus some fantasy romance, two Sonali Devs, and a reread of Juno Rushdan’s Final Hour series in preparation for Until the End!

That’s my month! What’s yours looking like?
