Wow, this month has been a journey. Not only blog wise but also life wise. Honestly, I was terrified of this month ending too soon. And now it has. Soo much happened to me this past month! Let’s dive to it!
Announcement: To support my fellow bloggers, I’m doing a FOLLOW TRAIN. Leave a comment below confirming that you followed my blog and I’ll do the same! Let’s enjoy each others content! [‘Follow Button’ is on either side of the screen or just scroll down.]
April…April…April.
How swiftly you flew by.
April was determined to take away everything positive I built last month and throw it down a mountain. April’s main goal was to raise my spirits…then crush it down to dust.
April Sucks.
I know that this isn’t what you expect to see from my blog. Especially one about books. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. I need help.
I’ve started a gofundme campaign to go to college!
You DON’T have to donate!! So don’t be scared! (Although it would be greatly appreciated) All I ask is that you share the link on facebook, twitter..etc! One share can go a long way! The image will take you to my main campaign page.

My Novels Monthly Reads:
I’m super proud of this list. Most of these books were ARCs!! I also managed to pick up a few TBRs along the way! However, it wasn’t really a great month compared to the previous ones since as you can see, a lot of them are 3 star ratings…but a book is a book no matter the..erm..quality…

Three top books for April is great. And even if some were threes well review books don’t cost so that’s a plus when saving. All the best for May, I do hope it is so much better for you.
