I was hoping that April would be the month where I would start posting more... anyway, that didn't happen 😂 And I did miss the last couple of days because I was out of town visiting family, soo (I had a blast! I will probably talk a little bit more about it in my next Sunday Post). Anyway, in April I read 5 books again (that's been 5 books every month so far this year 😂). But this month it was 1823 pages, which is about 600 pages more than the previous month, AND also the month where I read the most, so that's progress!
- 4 were full-length novels, and 1 novella
- 2 were part of a series, and 3 were standalones
- I started 1 series, caught up on another, and finished 0 😅
- 3 were finished copies, and 2 were ARCs
- 1 was a physical book, 1 ebook, and 1 was a physical/audio combo
- 1 was a 5-star read, 1 4.5 stars, 1 4 stars, 1 3.5 stars, and 1 3 stars
- 4 were traditionally published, 1 was indie published
- 3 were by a new-to-me author, and 2 were by authors I've previously read
- All 5 were adult books
- 4 were sci-fi, 1 was horror
Books read this month:
I read mostly sci-fi this month 😆 And the first book I read was Project Hail Mary and honestly, I loved it. It was SO good! I finally understand the hype surrounding it. Lol. The Deep was kinda meh. It's a horror book that took place underwater, but I feel like it dragged. Some of the horror elements I enjoyed though. The Romara Confrontation was amazing, though! It was a crossover book between the Colonial Explorer Corps series and the Krimson Empire series and it was just so fun! I loved all the characters interacting with one another.
And then while I was on vacation, I read these two. I liked Overgrowth overall, I think. I liked the premise and the aliens were very interesting. But I still don't know how I feel about that ending. And I finally started the Murderbot Diaries! I really enjoyed All Systems Red and I loved Murderbot! I already have the second book on hold at the library 😆
Favorite book of the month:
I read a lot of good books this month, but I think I have to pick this one as my favorite. I have been looking forward to reading it since the author said she was planning this crossover, and it was so well done!
Least favorite book of the month:
I didn't hate this book, I gave it 3 stars, but it also wasn't great. Lol.

I loved Project Hail Mary. Probably my favorite book ever. I’ve added Julia Huni to my TBR list. I manage only 4 books a month as a rule, so 5 is outstanding in my opinion. 😄
ReplyDeleteYES! Any time I get someone to pick up a Julia Huni book my day is made 😆 I hope you enjoy her books! They are very fun!
DeleteOvergrowth is on my TBR, I hope I get to it soon. Even with your note about the ending, I still want to give it a try! Hope May is going well for you so far.

I hope you enjoy it more than I did! Though that being said, I did enjoy it! Just not as much as other books I've read by this author.
DeleteMURDERBOT ♥ Ahh I couldn't wait for you to start this series because I knew you'd love it as much as me *cries happy tears*
ReplyDeleteI'm also really excited to read Overgrowth which will probably happen in the next 2 months
It was so fun! I'm looking to continuing the series.
