Greetings readers!
Well HI. This is wrap up/TBR post is coming to you mid-month, but better late than never right?! I would like to announce that I am officially free from uni for the summer…for the next two weeks at least. I have to do an online summer course, but it *hopefully* won’t be too bad!
But yeah.
I’m free.
ONTO THE BOOKS!
What Rendz Read
The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe by Allie Condie
A buddy read with Mandy @ Book Princess Reviews! We both agreed it was pretty meh and weren’t the biggest fans. My Full Review
Even the Darkest Stars by Heather Fawecett
A buddy read with Sha @ Book Princess Reviews. This was not what either of us was expecting…and not in the good way. We are in progress of making a joint review so stay tuned!
Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
A buddy read with Angelica @ The Book Cover Girl. I found this one to be good. Not the bestest, nor the worstest. Just good. Review to come.
The Beauty of the Moment by Tanaz Bhathena
I absolutely adored this book! So much love. And I related to it so much! My Full Review!
A total of 4 books red in march. Which is not bad considering I had so much going on in school. But it was a month of buddy reads that I truly enjoyed!

OH WAIT YES I DO HAVE NEWS!!!!
I wrote an article for Cultura Collectiva! They reached to me to write the top 10 books one should read to get into YA and I went off!
Please have a read. Please let me know what you think! I had a lot of fun working with CC and I hope you enjoy!
Kingsbane by Claire Legrand — look out for my blog tour stop May 6th!

It’s a tad ambitious considering I only have half of the month left, but since I’m on vacay I have much more time on my hands.
Let me know what you think! What was your favourite March read? What did you buy? What books are you looking forward to this April?
Happy reading!

I’m looking forward to your review of Wicked Saints! I’m curious to see what you say, even though we’ve already discussed it lol. And I’m so excited for both The Candle and the Flame and Nocturna. I got ARCs for both and I’m so looking forward to them. Hopefully we both get to enjoy them! Also, I hope you have fun on your vacation and congrats on your article!

I am very excited about my trip! I’m gonna need help choosing what book to take so you’ll be hearing more about it soon!

meh @ online courses. I hope it’s a manageable one. I find online courses can go one of two ways: the prof gives a million things to read and one major assignment, or a million things to read and one assignment for every single thing you had to read.
Wait. Only ONE book for the trip? That is going to be some tense decision making. (Is this the book with the sisters or a different book still to be chosen.)

This online course isn’t bad so far. But it’s lookin like I’m gonna have to read a million things, have two major assignments and an exam. -_-
And yes, only one physical book for the trip because luggage! This won’t be a sister read book just something for me!

Noooo, so much reading. That is so annoying. 😦 Good luck with it all, it doesn’t sound hard but for sure time consuming.
Have you left for the trip yet? I forgot the dates!!!!

It’s not too bad the stories are interesting at least. The trip is not until late June so I have a while to wait still.
