Happy May!
We are finally getting some rain here in northern Colorado and we have needed it. I don't think I've ever seen so many fire warnings and limitations on outdoor activities in the month of April in my life. It's just been so crazy how dry the snow and early spring has been. But you aren't hear for the local weather, so let's talk books. I've once again had a slower month compared to years past, but it was a little bit of a tick up for this year. I just have more that I'm doing. I did participate in the Dark Romance Readathon again and managed to get two books this time! But let's get to all of my stats for the month.

💗 For my favorite and least favorite this month, it's a pretty easy choice for my. My favorite is hands down Blood Heir. I can't wait to read more from Ilona Andrews and for what they are going to write in the future. My least favorite is my lowest rated, Hollywood Dreams. Enemies to lovers is harder sell for me so for me to really enjoy that trope it really has to knock it out of the ballpark.
There are a lot of reading plans I have coming up in May. We have the Mafia Romance Readathon shortly followed by the Historical Romance Readathon. Outside of my normal bookclubs I also have the continuation of the SJM-along and the Ilona Andrews readalong. Hopefully I'll be able to wrap up the Love Has Sprung first and 2nd bingo boards as well. We'll see what happens!
How was your reading in April?
Bookishly Yours,
Stasi🍎
