Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2022 (I Went on Vacation!)

April was a pretty chill month. Nothing to exciting to report... up until the end when I finally went on vacation! We were in Mexico City for a couple days and then the rest of the two weeks we spent in Acapulco at the beach. It was SO nice! It had been 3 years since I was last on vacation! I spent most of my time just laying around at the beach, and that was exactly what my mental health needed. I'm not a fan of the humidity, but besides that it was great! I'll leave some photos below you guys can check out!

The reason we even went on this trip was for my cousin's wedding, which was a lot of fun! And that's saying something coming from someone who doesn't like weddings 😂

One of the places we went to was Xochimilco. The water was disgusting, but besides that it was really nice! Plus, we got to see a tiny section of the Island of the Dolls! 😱

And another place we went to was The Basilica of Guadalupe, which was pretty cool too.

And this is the resort we stayed at. It was nice because the beach was literally only a few steps away. AND it was a private beach. I actually didn't spend any time at the pool because there was always a lot of people there, but I was at the beach ALL the time!

While in Acapulco, we saw some people cliff diving, which was nuts! 😨

And we also went on what I call a party boat 😂 It was pretty cool though because it gave us this little tour of Acapulco.

Books read this month:

As you can see, in April I read 6 books for a total of 2226 pages! That's about 700 pages more than the month before! AND I really enjoyed ALL the books I read! I love The Lunar Chronicles, and Cinder's Adventure was a lot of fun! I especially enjoyed seeing characters from Marissa Meyer's other series in this book! Japanese Demystified I FINALLY finished after having started it, like, what? 2 years ago? 😂 It was helpful though! And in preparation for Cinder's Adventure, I read Gilded, which is a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin that had some German folklore interwoven, and I absolutely loved it! I cannot wait for the sequel!

And I finally read Tear Down the Throne, which yes, was also amazing 😂 I adore Leo and Gemma and I cannot wait to see how this trilogy wraps up next year! It's been a while since I read a MG book, but Wretched Waterpark was a lot of fun! A gothic waterpark? YES PLEASE! It was great! And surprise of all surprises, I read a contemporary 🙀 And I liked it 😱😂 See You Yesterday was really cute and it was very reminiscent of Happy Death Day (or Groundhog Day, if you will), in that the characters are stuck in a time loop. I really enjoyed it and the character development that happened!

Favorite book of the month:

This is touch because I really enjoyed all the books to one extent or another! I have loved all of Marissa Meyer's work, so of course these two. And you all know Jennifer Estep is one of my favorite author's, so duh I loved Tear Down the Throne 😂 And I don't know what it is about Kiersten White's MG books, but I think I like those even more than I do her YA stuff! They are just a ton of fun!

Least favorite book of the month:
