Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2021

This month has been insane. You may or may not have noticed that I have not been doing my Sunday Posts lately... no real reason except that I haven't had the inspiration to write them. But I have updates: earlier this month we had a windstorm the blew roofing stuff over from the neighbors roof, over our fence, and landed right on my car 🤦‍♀️ It wasn't terribly damaged, thankfully, but it did have a bunch of scratches here and there, so my car was getting repairs done for like two weeks. I literally just went and got my car back yesterday!
Even worse, that same weekend our water heater decided it didn't want to work anymore and decided to make a mess on its way out by flooding our kitchen. There's a bit of water damage so they ripped up the flooring and we have no kitchen... all we have is a stove. It's been real fun over here 🙃 So yeah, I may have gotten my car back looking like new, but our house is still a bloody mess 😩 Anyway, onto the books!

Books read this month:

This month I read 5 books, 1 novella, and I completed 1 omnibus!

This later half of the month is when I read those really good books! Cassie Clare, Marissa Meyer, and Jennifer Estep are some of my most favorite authors, so I of course loved these all!

Favorite books of the month:

The Red Scrolls of Magic was 😍😍😍 But that should come as no surprise... I love the Shadowhunters! And I love Malec! They are just so freaking adorable! Renegades was also great! I really love this world and the main character, Nova, who is actually a villain I guess? And I say I guess because, honestly, I kind of get her motivation for doing the things she's doing. But yeah, I loved it! (Oh and the only reason I didn't include Touch of Frost here is because it was a re-read 😂 But I loved it! It was so much fun to get back to this world 🖤)

Least favorite book of the month:

Oddly enough, this Jennifer Estep novella was probably my least favorite read of the month 😬 I didn't hate this, but me and this series just started off on the wrong foot. The romance was too much... too instalove-y. This novella actually didn't really have romance, but the first book in the series kinda just left a bad taste in my mouth so I didn't really enjoy this anyway. And I just don't vibe with the main character. But like I said, I didn't hate it. I really like the superhero aspect and the world and the cool superpowers.
