I feel so much better about my reading this month than I did in March. I just enjoyed reading more this month. I defeintely still had some low-rated books, but I had a better time overall. This is the first month I don’t have a reread, but I’m sure there will be more to come! And I think I was a little less stress out too. I’m also pretty excited to be coming up on my 1 year blogiversary on May 8th!

I’m still slowly going through the Raven Cycle, so I’m only on Dream Thieves so far, but I love it so much more than The Raven Boys and I can’t wait to finally get to The Raven King!

So glad to hear you enjoyed The Raven King… I haven’t finished that series yet… I love that you enjoyed the audiobook so much too. My writing partner and I may have to give that a listen. ❤️

I like the Audio book way more than the physical books. I actually dnf’d the physical copy of book 3 a few years ago, but the Audio book brought so much more life to the story.

I’m glad to hear that your reading month was going well! 🙂
My favorite book this month probably is a split between Cress, The Nowhere Girls and Saints and Misfits! I feel like especially the last two are really underrated but sooo good
