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
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 | #bestiemademe | Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
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
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.
Ashley’s April TBR | OWLs Readathon 2020 + The Loyal Book-a-Thon: Quarantine Edition
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.
Book Review | We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian
**Disclaimer: I received a free early reader’s copy of We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them and the publisher for this opportunity.
We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian is a young adult contemporary novel about a high school girl’s field hockey team. It is multi point of view and you get the perspectives of a variety of girls on the varsity team at West Essex high school. We Are the Wildcats publishes on March 31st. I rated it 5 stars on Goodreads.
The Loyal Book Club | The Shadowglass
Hello, friends! Kari and I are excited to introduce a new feature of our blog: The Loyal Book Club. Every couple of months, we will choose a book to feature as our book club read. We will schedule dates that parts of the book need to be read by and open up a discussion chat on instagram. This month it is going to coincide with our inaugural session of The Loyal Book-a-thon! This is our first time doing this on the blog, and our first book is The Shadowglass by Rin Chupeco.
Tag Tuesday | Books and Elements Tag
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favourite shows. I know it’s technically a show for children but I really appreciated the way it dealt with serious issues. That’s why I really like the idea behind this tag. You can see my answers to the element themed questions below the cut.
Book Review | #bestiemademe | Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is the second book I read for the #bestiemademe challenge that Kari and I are doing. Kari loved it, so she’s been bugging me to read it for awhile. I read this in February and finished it in early March, and I was very grateful for the recommendation because I absolutely loved this book and rated it 5 stars.
Misc Monday | Fae Crate Thorns and All Hangover Recovery Crate Unboxing
I was so excited when I found out about this box. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a really cool series and I enjoyed the world building and the characters. Lately a lot of my friends are reading this and it’s giving me a lot of need to reread it. I especially need to reread it after getting this box.
