Damn guys, it’s October already. How did this happen? This year is just flying by… oh well. So, this month I did well, I think. I didn’t read as much as last month, but I still took out 12 books of my TBR, even if 2 were novellas and 1 I did not finish. Eheh.

April Wrap-Up

10 Comments

Hey guys! Another month has gone by, and this year is just flying by, don’t you think?

April was a bit of a weird month for me. I didn’t read as much as I’m used to, because I started a new job, and for the first 3 weeks of the month I was in training, so that didn’t leave that much time to read. Then I found some time to read while on the job, so I started to balance it better, so I’m hoping I can do better next month.

Either way, this month was also mixed in terms of reading material. I read some great ones, and some shitty ones too. But hey, I read some books that had been on my TBR for a long long time, so that was great.

THIS MONTH I READ:

2017 NEW ADULT READING CHALLENGE:

I only read 2 books towards the NA reading challenge:

Which brings my total to 23 New Adult books read so far, putting me still in the NA Initiate level…
