Ashley’s April Wrap Up

05.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This was a crazy reading month for me.  I felt really slumpy back in March and then had to transition into working from home.  I expected that I wouldn’t really get a lot of reading done this month despite participating in both the OWLs Magical Readathon and our Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I figured I’d read those, and that would be about it.  However, I ended up getting through a lot of books and finished off both readathons pretty early in the month.  Working from home meant that I could listen to audiobooks while working, and it’s made me a lot more efficient reader.  So I’m pretty proud of the fact that in April I read 34 books/novellas.  You’ll find everything I read below the cut. 🙂

Ashley’s April Haul

04.29.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

What a weird month this has been! I’ve been doing a ton of reading, but not a lot of book buying, which is probably for the best.  However, I did still end up with some books this month so we’re going to do a quick and dirty haul for you today.

Book Review | You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

04.18.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

45046574**Disclaimer: I received a free early access reader’s copy of You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.  Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.

You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce is an adult novel that falls in sort of the mystery thriller genre.  However, it has some fantasy and horror elements as well.  It tells the story of Cassandra Tipp as she writes about her life before she mysteriously disappeared.  I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads.  You Let Me In releases on April 21st.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

33643994._SY475_

April’s #bestiemademe read is Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller!  I listened to this one as an audiobook, just to switch it up from the usual style I’ve done for reading the previous #bestiemademe books. Daughter of the Pirate King is a YA fantasy novel about, you guessed it, the daughter of the pirate king, Alosa.  I rated it four stars on Goodreads.

Tag Tuesday | Five Finger Tag

04.07.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I love how people draw inspiration for these bookish tags from the most everyday of things. Personally there are some things I would change on this tag, but it’s not mine so I’m rolling with the punches here. Check out my answers below the cut.

Misc Monday | April Anticipated Reads

04.06.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I kind of debated not making this post this month because when I looked up April releases, there weren’t too many books that I was super interested in.  However, I think I’ve pretty much made this a monthly segment on this blog so I think I will keep doing it.

Ashley’s April TBR | OWLs Readathon 2020 + The Loyal Book-a-Thon: Quarantine Edition

04.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again; time for the OWLs Magical Readathon. I have to admit that I’m pretty dang excited.  I could use a distraction from everything that is going on right now.  So I’m definitely excited to spend some time devouring some books and escaping from real life.  It’s also an extra exciting month because Kari and I are hosting the inaugural Loyal Book-a-Thon: Quarantine Edition.  Find out more here.

Ashley’s March Wrap Up

03.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Wasn’t March just the longest month ever? I kept looking at the date on the calendar and being like how are we still in March?  However, it’s finally over and hopefully April will bring better things.  I read 19 books in March, which I feel pretty good about because I was somewhat slumpy for a good part of it.  You’ll find my thoughts below the cut.
