April ’15 in Review

April has been an interesting month for me personally. Since the miscarriage at the end of March, I’ve had some good days and some not-so-good days. Most days I’m able to stay positive and look forward to the future, but other days I struggle with feeling bitter and angry that we lost our little baby before we got the chance to know her. Luckily for me I have a fantastic husband and a handsome little boy who keep me busy and remind me daily just how much they love me 💜

On the blogging front, I’m back in full swing and oh how I missed it the two weeks I was absent! I love writing reviews, participating in memes and all of you lovely folk who comment. You make it fun ☺️

I’ve read some fantastic books this month, nothing less than 3 stars, so get excited because that means lots of fun reviews next month! What have you been up to in April?

Favorite Read

Hands down!!! This book is fantastic 😀 Despite being predictable in parts, I enjoyed it from start to finish. I couldn’t sit it down and finished it in less than 24 hours! It is a MUST READ! Full review to come later next month…

Favorite Quote

Big surprise….it’s from Red Queen 😉

Many things led to this day, for all of us. A forgotten son, a vengeful mother, a brother with a long shadow, a strange mutation. Together, they’ve written a tragedy. ~From Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Coming up in May

I have a lot coming up in May and I can’t wait to share it all with you…an interview with author Siobhan Davis, Blog Tour for Carry Me Home and Killing Time, and lots and lots of reviews. Here are a few of the books to look forward to:

Reading Challenge Updates

 

I am sorely behind on this challenge. The goal was to read one book a month….I’ve only read the first one 😬 So my goal is that in June (and I’ll explain why June in a moment) to catch up and do a little binge reading 😉 So hang in there Outlander, I WILL be reading you!

I am so looking forward to this challenge next month! I have :::cough::: 40 ARCs currently sitting on my Kindle. I need to get to reading. My goal is to read or at least attempt to read half of these books next month. Bring on the binging 😀

What are you looking forward to in May?

May will be a busy month for me and it all culminates Memorial Day weekend with my idol Garth Brooks in Knoxville 😱😄🙌 I seriously CANNOT wait!!! I’ve got an outfit picked, dinner set and a baby sitter in place. I plan to rock out that night and will most definitely be hoarse the entire weekend.
