Hey, guys!
If you couldn't tell, I haven't been posting many reviews at all. I'm currently in the middle of finals, so be patient with me. I'm writing this up pretty quickly Sunday (4/30) and I plan on posting this by Monday (5/1). I'm going to try to have a post about my A Court of Wings & Ruin unboxing and preorder goodies, but that will have to wait until the book actually comes in, when I get the editions (yes plural) that I want to have, and for the preorder goodies to come in. Along with that, I'll most likely have a spoiler and non-spoiler discussion and review. Stay tuned for that!
Once finals are completely over, I plan to do a big binge on Sarah J. Maas books and then get back to my review books. I'm considering it my reward for getting fantastic grades. Please be patient with me. I will have a bunch of reviews coming soon. I'm very behind, but I will get caught up!
This month I read 8 books/short stories and DNF'd 2 books. I was close to DNF'ing a bunch of books this month. I was just not satisfied with what I read. Hopefully, next month will be better since I don't have classes.
