Monthly Wrap Up: April 2018

 I am so crazy glad that the weather is FINALLY warming up outside! We had so many crazy snowstorms in April, it was bonkers. My goal for April was to try to get caught up on my out of control ARC requests and I did... OK I guess? I spend Readathon and the week leading up to it reading library books instead (oops).

    How are you doing so well with your Goodreads challenge?! I’m constantly behind on mine. I guess it’s time to find some short books. Have a great May!

      My secret weapons are manga/comic books, children's books, and middle grade fiction. The easy/quick reads help boost numbers quickly, haha.

    You are doing so well on your goodreads challenge! I need to do a mini readathon to try and get myself caught up on ARCs sometimes I feel like I'm never going to catch up.

    I hope you have a wonderful May!

    Way to go on your Goodreads challenge! I've almost met my goal, but I set it low because I'm kind of over it these days. Looking at your current current, I see you're now at 97 books - wow. You've also reminded me to link up to challenges I've joined, so thanks for that. What team are you for Beat the Backlist?
