Today I'm coming to you with my April wrap-up, all the books I read in April.
I actually had a great reading month, not in terms of how much I read, but in the quality of what I read. I read five books this month and I gave four of them 4 or 5 star ratings.
These are the books I read:
The Lesbian Love Companion by Marny Hall ★★★★★
South of Sunshine by Dana Elmendorf ★★★★
Keeping Her Secret (Endless Summer) by Sarah Nicolas ★★
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo ★★★★
Heartless by Marissa Meyer ★★★★★
Let's talk about South of Sunshine. I don't know anybody else who has read this; and I actually picked it up on a whim whilst I was looking for some lesbian YA fiction. As it turns out, the book is amazing and I loved it. There was very little of the typical YA sexuality angst and even better, the book opens with a character who KNOWS she is a lesbian- No questions asked. It was a great read and even though I wished the MC had been less afraid to come out, I understand why she was afraid and it didn't tar my image of her.
I have already posted a review of The Lesbian Love Companion, so if you are interested, you can find that on my blog.
Keeping Her Secret (Endless Summer) was the only book this month that I didn't like. I bought this as an eBook and was pretty disappointed, to be honest.
Six of Crows... Oh, Six of Crows. I started reading this book ages ago and really dragged out my reading of it. I liked it, but not as much as I expected to. I'm not really sure why, I actually can't put my finger on it. But, it was still a great adventure to read and I'm looking forward to picking up Crooked Kingdom.
Heartless was my favourite book of April, next to TLLC. I adored it. I adored it in ways I haven't adored a book in quite a while. I didn't want it to end; and honestly I now have a huge book hangover. I'm planning a whole blog post just for Heartless so I won't go into too much detail here. I will, however, repeat myself: I LOVE THIS BOOK. 💓💓💓💓💓
So those are all the books I read in April. If you enjoyed any of these books, feel free to start a discussion with me in the comments; and until next time, happy reading!
