April Wrap Up
This month has flown by and so much has happened! My boyfriend and I signed a lease on an apartment (we’re moving in at the beginning of June) and we booked a venue for our wedding in spring 2022! Now he just needs to get me a ring. Our new place is gorgeous and has so much natural light from the huge windows, which means maybe my book photos will be a bit better than they have been. One can hope, at least!
Books Read - Goal: 8 Total: 9
It’s been a good reading month, mainly due to school. And I just want to say that Moths and The Heavenly Twins are both 600+ pages so reading both of them in the same month plus other books is really impressive! Those two happen to also be my favorite and least favorite of the month. I need to read more by Ouida now; she’s amazing. The Heavenly Twins wasn’t awful; there were good parts, but it gets bogged down with a lot of unnecessary stuff.

In contrast, we have plenty over here. There probably won’t be as much posted in May because I have seminar papers to write.
