April 2020 Wrap Up

It's so strange. March felt like the longest month ever, but I have no idea where April went. I think the monotony of never leaving home has turned the month into one long day. Thankfully I was able to read this month. Spending lots of time outdoors really helps, and I've been enjoying picking up comics when my attention can't hold on to anything. Below are all of the things I finished reading this month.

One good thing about easily putting books aside right now is all of the books I finished are pretty highly rated!

Wow, check out all the Lumberjanes! That's a comic I'd love to read. I agree, where the heck did April go?😁

April was a blur for me, too. All the days just seem to blend together. But hey, I read Rules for Vanishing, too! I thought it was a lot of fun. Now if only I can get my copy of Girls Save the World in May. :D

For me April was a long month because my husband was in the hospital for 21 days. I'm glad It's May.

It's good you are finding a way to combat the doldrums of quarantine life. I have been eyeing The Rules for Vanishing, because everyone seems to give it 5-stars. I swear!

I'm going to have to check out Rules for Vanishing! A YA horror that gets 5 stars is no small thing!
