APRIL WRAPUP (aka the month of similar days)

Hi,

April is sad. And I don't even want to talk about missing everything again. This quarantine is really, really getting into me.

ANYWAY, the month started well for me reading-wise. I speed through Insurgent and The Silent Patient but after that, I felt that I got stuck with a bad slump. I ended up watching movies and a few anime series in between. I waited for the Dewey's 24hr Readathon and pushed myself to read. I finished and LOVED Ghosted. After that, I got into a really good mood so I picked up It again and I'm reading it. Not THAT fast but still reading it steadily and I think it's going fine 😊

books read

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides | Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth | Love & Luck (Love & Gelato #2) by Jenna Evans Welch | For Whom the Book Tolls (An Antique Bookshop Mystery #1) by Laura Gail Black | Ghosted by Rosie Walsh | Strange Planet (Strange Planet #1) by Nathan W. Pyle

quick thoughts right here with their respective Popsugar prompts👇
The Silent Patient (medical thriller) - this book had mixed thoughts so I was a bit apprehensive when I read it. BUT I ended up really liking it. I don't really want to look up what others thing at this point. I enjoyed it and that's it.
Insurgent (book by an author in their 20's) - I liked it better this second time around? I didn't up its star rating though but I liked it better than the first time I read it. On to Allegiant we go. Probably this May.
Love & Luck - loved this more than the first book! Generally I think I loved this because of the sibling relationship
For Whom the Book Tolls (book with a pun in the title) - this was an okay read. Not very gripping and I didn't really care much about the main character. Also, it was kind of disappointing in the bookshop aspect of it.
Ghosted (book about or involving social media) - I had conflicting feelings about the whole premise but then I ended up really liking the ending. Maybe around 70% in the book, I found myself really liking when it's going.
Strange Planet - just a fun and quick read. Try some through Nathan W Pyle's instagram or facebook page. You won't regret it.
