Monthly Book Report – April 2021 recap

Posted May 3, 2021 by Michelle in Monthly Book Report / 6 Comments

I swear I was about to start this post as, I didn’t do a lot of reading this month but then I realized I actually read more than I thought. Yay! Last month was crazy busy with Shots, Cheer ending, Spring Break and Easter. So I had assumed I didn’t read. I am legit so proud of myself, lol.

I was also able to get a few blog posts done this month and really get my shit together, Who am I right now! I think a lot of my fear was that I would have to go back to the place that let me go but after 4 months, I am finally feeling super confident that I can say no and not get anxiety from my choice. I am ready to move on and get to the next chapter in my life. What that next chapter will be? I am still trying to figure it out.

I am excited about what I have planned for the blog and finding more time to read. Not only is May my birthday month, it will be the Month of change. Fingers crossed!!! 🙂

Book I read

Favorite Book I read this month

This book was hilarious, heartbreaking, filled with so much action and now one of my all time favorite books. I do plan to read the next one later this year but for now I am still thinking about the boys in Saga! I honestly miss them so much. It was such a great book!
