April Wrap-Up!!

I know that I didn't post a March one, but hopefully I'll be able to post wrap-ups going forward. I always love seeing what everyone else has been reading.

This month, I read 12 books and 5,018 pages (thank you to these for being place-holders since I only read Kindle books and audiobooks this month)

Reviews are still coming, thanks to the lovely queuing system here that allows me to space my posts out while I'm busy with school!

Without further ado, here are the books I read and my ratings.

April Wrap-Up

I didn’t read as much as I wanted to in April as I had to turn my mind to texts for review or for assignments, but the books I did read were stunning. Circe by Madeline Miller and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke spun my magic-loving heart in circles, and They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us moved me to tears several times as The Readymade Thief by Augustus Rose persisted in all its compelling weirdness. Here’s to another great month in May.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke 

They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us: Essays by Hanif Abdurraqib 

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

April 2026 reading wrap up

Hello friends!! Welcome to the April 2026 reading wrap up. April felt like a bit of a reset month. After my accidental vampire era in March (which I’m still not entirely convinced I didn’t subconsciously plan), this month leaned much more into romance and softer fantasy, and, apparently, books that wanted to emotionally ruin me. There’s something about a reading month where you end up crying more…

April 2026 Wrap-Up Post

April has turned out to be the month I realize I need to slow down and let myself recover from all the chaos that has been going on. This month’s accomplishments will probably be scant, but you know what? That’s what needs to happen sometimes. Here was what I thought I’d get done in April: Write the rest of “An Unexpected Christmas” Edit “An Unexpected Christmas” Rewrite some of Flowers and…

April Wrap-Up!

It’s May apparently, I’m not sure how. Days don’t exist anymore and time feels like the dot in Jeremy Bearimy (watch The Good Place for further enquiries)

BOOKS:

Okay, you might want to be sitting down now because……I read 12 books?? (my coping mechanism is reading fluffy YA contemporaries and it shows) (this is never going to happen again though because arranging the covers semi-aesthetically was…

April 2020 Wrap-Up

Well, reading definitely picked back up for me in April. I found that the key was reading some real low-stakes stuff (romance was my personal life-saver) until I felt like reading my usual fare again. My finals end the first week of May, and then I’ve chosen to take a break from grad school until the fall for a couple reasons. It’ll be nice having a few months where work and personal…

April Wrap-Up!

Hi friends! Today I’m back with my April wrap-up, and in true Theresa fashion, we’re already halfway through May.  Will I ever post a wrap-up on time? Who knows! Stay tuned…😂

As you all can probably guess from my lack of blog posts last month, I didn’t have a great reading month either.  I ended up only reading two books.  I realize that’s still two books to celebrate, but I was hoping for…
