April Wrap Up

Favorite book read in April: Toil & Trouble

This month was TERRIBLE for reading. I was so busy I barely had time, and when I did, I had trouble getting into anything. I bounced around books so much that I was reading 5 books at once!! That never happens for me. I usually read one book at a time, but I couldn’t decide what I wanted to read. I think having nothing but 5 star reads last month threw me into a slump!

Books I reviewed

I also did really terrible with reviews. I’m about 6 reviews behind now :(

What I’ve been up to this month

BUSY. Everything. I’ve been so overwhelmed by everything I have to do. My living situation also changed so there’s been stress on that end. I’ve been swamped with the candle shop because I’m in the middle of a design change and HUGE restock, as well as a bulk order that’s been exceptionally difficult. I’m hoping after I get caught up with shop things that life will slow down and be a little less hectic!

  1. Ahhh SO many beautiful books here, I just flail looking at them all. Also totally understand about those levels of busyness eeep…it’s like everything loves to hit us at once, right?! I hope you get that order sorted out and it doesn’t get more stressful. I also still really really need to read Sky In the Deep (I’m SO behind on ARCs right now aghhh).

  2. WOW! Just so much awesome stuff here-I love your Intstagram photos. I got my first Nerdy Post in April, loved it! I think you have the coolest book stuff ever-(I am working on it-just started though). Have a great May!!

  3. I got this website from my friend who shared with me concerning this web page and now this time I
    am visiting this website and reading very informative content at this place.
