April Monthly Wrap-up // I read 12 books!

April is over, and to be honest this took quite a long time.  I did manage to read a good amount of books, and discover soo many new blogging hacks.

 

Books Read: 10 books Books Reviewed: 7 books.

I’m happy with my reviewing status this month. I planned on reviewing once a week this April (so 5 reviews), and it worked out!

• Caraval – I loved this book, from the cover all the way to it’s acknowledgments page. I loved the plot, which gave me a sort of The Night Circus, and Alice In Wonderland type of feel. It was mysterious, dark, and sooo beautiful | 4.5 Stars 
• The Edge of Everything – I HATED this book, because of A) characters B) ANIMAL ABUSE and C) writing style. I had hopes for this book, as it was kinda hyped around the blogosphere. | 2 stars 
• Me, and, Earl, and the Dying Girl – This made me laugh soo much, but then the ending killed me.  | 3 stars
• By Your Side – A Kasie West book! I thought I’d love it, but I didn’t. In fact, I found it okay.  But I think it didn’t deserve the screaming, and flailing, and jumping I did when I found out it was released.
• Girl Overboard – Whiny character + badass concept = | 3 stars 
• Whenever I’m With You by Lydia Sharp – What I was expecting (based on cover): A cute swoony story about two teenagers falling in love, while on a journey to save someone.
  What I got: ALASKA IS DANGEROUS | 3 stars 
• A World Without You by Beth Ravis – I didn’t like this book, but I liked the way it was told. You couldn’t really trust the main character. |3 stars 
• Still Life As Tornado by A.S King – Wow, this book was just mind blowing. As an avid reader, I have read many books revolving around the topic of abuse, but the way this story presented it, was as Sarah would say original. I might do a full review, soon as I can. | 4 stars 
• The Weight of Feathers by Anne-Marie McLemore – My!! New!! Favorite!! Book!! | 4 stars
