Hi Blisses,
I read 21 books last month, which isn’t surprising because we’re still stuck at home. Hopefully, our quarantine ends in May 15 but I’m not keeping my hopes high. Anyway, I’ve read quite a number of great books last month. Sure, I only had one 5-star read but I had lots of 4 and 4.5-star reads. I also didn’t have any DNF so that’s great.
The bad news is I didn’t review most of my reads. I felt lazy. I wanted to just read and read and read. By the way, the past two days, I had a 48-hour readathon and I finished the whole Diviners series. That’s 4 books, you guys. So it’s only April 6th, but I already read 8 books. But that’s for another wrap-up post, let me now share the books I read last month.
1.) Archenemies by Marissa Meyer
2.) Supernova by Marissa Meyer
3.) Boss Man Bridegroom by Meghan Quinn (My REVIEW)
4.) Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata
5.) Find Me Their Bones by Sara Wolf
6.) Scythe by Neal Shusterman (My REVIEW)
7.) Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman (My REVIEW)
8.) The Toll by Neal Shusterman (My REVIEW)
9.) Yours in Scandal by Lauren Layne
10.) The Gifts of Life by Oliver Smuhar (My REVIEW)

11.) The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout –Reread– (MY REVIEW)
12.) The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
13.) The Secret to Dating Your Bestfriends’s Sister by Meghan Quinn
14.) My Year of Saying No by Maxine Morrey (MY REVIEW)
15.) Don’t Go Stealing My Heart by Kelly Siskind (MY REVIEW)
16.) First Comes Scandal by Julia Quinn (MY REVIEW)
17.) If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane (MY REVIEW)
18.) Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV
19.) The Identity Thief by Alex Bryant (MY REVIEW)
20.) Acres of Diamonds by Jentezen Franklin
21.) The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

Great reading month, Lili. The Scythe series has been recommended to me several times. Looking forward to your thoughts on The Ten Thousand Doors of January. π

Thank you, Stephen. The Scythe series is amazing and the first book is my favorite. If you’ve ever read the series, I’d love to know what you think of the direction that the whole series took. π π
Also, I won’t review The Ten Thousand Doors of January yet, because I want reread it using a physical book (I only read it on my kindle) I just want to annotate it and then review it.

Congrats to a fabulous reading month!! How did you like Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata? And I still need to read If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane, hope I’ll get to it this month.

Thank you. π Luna and the Lie is OK. For me, it’s not her best work. If I Never Met You is a surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like it so much because the beginning is a bit serious, much serious than the second half of the book. Hope you like it.

βI didnβt review most of my reads. I felt lazy. I wanted to just read and read and read.β OMG this was also me in April! Iβm SO behind on reviews but I had a blast reading so no regrets. In April, my 5-star romance read was Girl Gone Viral. Itβs a sweet bodyguard romance with lots of pining, and it tackles issues like PTSD and mental health. I donβt know if youβve read it, but I really loved that one.
