Monthly Reads: April 2013

Monthly Reads highlights the books I've got in my TBR for that month. It's a way of sharing the ones I'm excited for and trying to relieve the pressure of "having" to read an ARC or new release.

Happy April, all! Every month, I do an absolutely insane amount of books I want to read, and I can never, ever get there. And that's fine, that's the point of the monthly reads. Some I'll get to, others I will that aren't there - there's no pressure. March was such an insane month (there wasn't even a Monthly Reads post because I knew it would be impossible) that I kind of lost a lot of reading mojo. Which is also fine! But I'm approaching April with a revised outlook: a simple amount of books because I need to find my flow again. Very few obligation/review books.

    Catching Jordan and The Revenge of the Girl with the Great Personality were really cute books! They were just the sort of contemporary I was craving a few weeks ago, and I definitely hope that you enjoy them both.

    The Sea of Tranquility and This Is What Happy Looks Like are also coming up for me, and I look forward to reading both.

    I can not wait to hear what you think of Dare You To! Also, I have This Is What Happy Looks Like sitting next to my bed. I was staring at it longingly for a while, when I was supposed to be reading my library book. I have too many library books out now, but I think I'm going to take a couple days to really dig into my books and get through them, because there are SO MANY that I want to read.

    Happy Reading,
