March Wrap-Up + April TBR || The month of slumps and smut

Yes, you’ve read that title correctly; for the amount of ARC’s I had to read, I literally read none of them?? 

I was just hit with a horrible slump… and it took me until the end of March to just stop forcing it. I will get to said ARC’s when I get to them, I promise.

I’m going to be using my rep indicators in my wrap up. This idea was Romie’s @RomieWeDeserveLove so credit for the idea for these markers goes there!

 = books with lgbt+ representation

 = representation of people of colour

 = disability rep

 = mental illness rep

Best This Month: I actually don’t know…. this month wasn’t exactly fully of scintillating reads.

Wicked Saints – Emily A. Duncan | Sherwood – Meagan Spooner | Between the Water and the Woods – Simone Snaith | When the Sky Fell on Splendor – Emily Henry 

New segment because I’ve been implementing reading multiple books at a time (which is something I said I’d never do) and like I mentioned above… this month was a big ball of slumps and smut.

I recommend Spring reads, I talk about my blog glo up and how I tab my books.

My Netgalley/Edelweiss shelves stay a mess and I interview the author of Spectacle (and uhhhhh here’s a review for that).

T5W: I Thought I’d Hate You

TTT: Spring TBR

---

The second half of this month was a bit more hectic, with family coming over and stress and all, but I did a lot!

I stepped out of my comfort zone and helped out with A-spec April and I sort of beta read a chapter for a book I raved about last year.

SUCCESS.
