Sunday Post #502: Not Again...

Welcome to The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I talk about what is going on in life and the blog, and show you all the bookish things I got that week!

May 2026 TBR

April was a rough month when it came to completing my tbr. But I honestly saw it coming. Lol.

Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2026

Another month has passed, and my Resident Evil hyperfixation continues 😆 Honestly, most of the books you will see below I read within the last week because I was trying to catch up after most of my time went to playing these games 😂 I enjoy a readathon, though, so all the binge reading was very fun for me. Anyway, in April I also read 9 books, for a total of 2248 pages, which is about 400ish pages less than the previous month.

• 4 were full-length novels, 2 manga, and 3 novellas
• 6 were part of a series, and 3 were standalones
• I started 1 series, and finished 1
• 2 were books I purchased, 1 was an ARC from an author, and 6 were from the library
• 8 were finished copies and 1 ARC
• 4 were physical books, 3 were ebooks, and 1 was an ebook/audiobook combo
• 3 were 4.5 stars, and 6 were 4 stars
• 8 were traditionally published, 1 was indie published
• 5 were by authors I've previously read, and 4 were new to me
• 5 were adult books, and 4 were YA books
• All 9 were fiction
• 2 were action, 1 mystery thriller, 1 cozy fantasy, 4 sci-fi, 1 urban fantasy

Synopsis: Twilight must infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy to get close to his target Donovan Desmond, but has he ruined his daughter Anya’s chances with his outburst during the admissions interview? Perhaps the truly impossible mission this time is making sure Anya both becomes an exemplary student and befriends Donovan’s arrogant son Damian!

My rating: ★★★★★

At this point, it has been quite a while since I watched the anime, so when I read this volume, there were a bunch of things I forgot. For example, I forgot that Anya wanted a castle! Lol. Or that Yor (being the assassin she is) momentarily thought about killing one of the parents to get Anya into the fancy private school. Lol.
