Month in Review: April 2017

Unsurprisingly, April has been yet another insanely busy month. There just seems to be so much going on in all aspects of life! I hope all of you are doing well!

My reading took a bit of the brunt of all the business this month, but that was also partially due to Anna Karenina taking quite a while to get through. Regardless, I still managed to get through seven books apparently, so I can't complain. Below you will find the rest of my monthly shenanigans from my blog, so read on!

Books read: 7

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
