April was really crazy for me but I actually made a lot more time for reading than I expected I would!
- My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier (review)
- Openly Straight by Bill Konisberg (review)
- Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Al (review to come)
- To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han (review to come)
- Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan (review)
- The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemsin
- Faking it by Cora Cormack
- reread: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
- reread: Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor
- Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor
- reread: The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley
- reread: The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley
- reread: Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
- reread: The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
- for class: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
- for class/reread: Night by Elie Wiesel
- dnf: The Here and Now by Ann Brashares
and then there were 4 Iris Johansen books, 2 I read all of out of morbid curiosity and two I did not finish. She writes historical and likes writing about young girls and not a lot of consent which turns into love. Yikes. I started two or three other romances and didn’t finish them but not because of major issues, I just had other books to read and things to do!
Posts this month not counting the reviews linked to above:
- Rereading and De-stressing
- Blackout and All Clear by Connie Willis [thoughts on time traveling historians]
- Bookish facts
- #LGBTApril posts and New LGBT books on my TBR
And I’m still way way behind on commenting on blogs and replying to comments on my blog. I’m trying to work on that! But here are just a few more LGBT related posts I missed on my other post:
- [Author Guest Post] I Want to See You Be Brave by Nikki Godwin
- Bookish Parade: LGBT Covers
- Oh, the Books! Bookish Guides: LGBTQ in YA
If I’ve missed a post of yours I should check out, let me know! How was your month? Did you read a lot?
Wow, you kicked butt in April!! Did you enjoy Things Fall Apart? Because I vaguely remember liking it more than I thought in high school but I can’t remember much about it, so I was thinking about re-reading it. Not sure though since my TBR list is killing me hahahah! 😉
