Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2024

I feel like this month dragged and went by too fast at the same time 😅 I got quite a bit of reading done though! Lol. I ended up reading 7 books, which is about 2447 pages. That's only like 47 more pages than last month. Lol.

• All 7 were part of a series
• I started 1 series, but finished it as well
• 5 were finished copies and 2 were ARCs
• 5 were physical books and 2 ebooks
• 1 was a 5-star read, 5 were 4-star reads, and 1 3-star
• 5 were traditionally published and 2 were indie published
• All 7 were by authors I've previously read
• 2 were adult books, 4 YA, and 1 middle grade
• 1 was sci-fi, 2 were high fantasy, 3 horror, and 1 urban fantasy

Books read this month:

I started and ended the month with some Fear Street! I really enjoyed these! But I tend to enjoy this series overall, even when the books aren't that great. 👀 Lol. The end of A New Fear was actually not my favorite, but I liked everything else about it. And House of Whispers I actually liked a lot more! I just love the Fear family lore.

I also finally read the King of Scars duology and I really enjoyed it! I could've done without out "The Monk," I really hated that aspect of the book and thought it was completely unnecessary. But overall I really liked the world, the magic system, and I'm really going to miss these characters 😭

And then we got another book in the Space Janitor universe and I could not be more happy! These books are just a lot of fun and I love all the crazy situations these lovable characters get themselves in!

I also continued on in my re-read of Heroes of Olympus, and I am honestly having the best time. These books are so fun and action-packed!

And we also got a new book in the Ellie Jordan series! I've missed these books so I was very excited for the new book! The case was interesting, it was quite spooky, and I really enjoyed the setting of this one.

Favorite book of the month:

I know this is a re-read, but this has got to be my favorite! It was just so fun!

Least favorite book of the month:

The ending. It was not it. But it wasn't a bad book. I liked everything else about it.
