Hello and welcome to the end of April, boy does time fly. I am looking forward to next month though. I feel like it is going to finally begin to feel like Spring.
This month has been a ton of fun reading wise. I actually read every book I out on my TBR, which never happens. I also took part in the Magical Readathon OWLs Exams, you can see my TBR: TBR | Magical Readathon OWLs Exams and my Wrap Up:____. It was a ton of fun and I really enjoyed myself. I got to books I have been putting off.
While I have a whole wrap up with those books separately I wanted to also share the books that I read that did not fit in any of those magical categories.
The Wicked Boy by Kate Summerscale
I wrote an entire review on this non-fiction account of this victorian era child murderer which you can find here:REVIEW | The Wicked Boy by Kate Summerscale. Overall, I enjoyed it and I am glad to have finally gotten to it.
Unraveling Oliver by Liz Nugent
I LOVED this thriller so much. I found a brand new author that I am going to further explore. I was so draw into the story and I felt such intense feelings. If you like thrillers I highly suggest you look into this.
The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
You can see details about both of these books here: Currently Reading | April 2018.
Overall I read a total of 7 books this month, which is great since I was so busy and I did not think I was really going to get much reading done. Anyway, I hope you had a great month and next month is even better!
I think the best book for me was a tie between The Wicked Deep and Reflection. I had a lot of good reads this month.
P.S. I’m trying to figure out how to get those follow buttons on my page for Goodreads and Instagram. I just got Instagram last week. Would you be able to help me with that please? I’m sorry that is a bit off topic. I’ve been looking for it all day.

Thank you! Which url doesn’t work? Instagram or my actual WordPress url? I just joined Instagram last week so that’s probably most likely since I’m not fully sure what link to use to give out on here. Thanks ahead of time!

Really? Where exactly does it say that? Just so I have a better idea of where to try to fix the problem…I am appreciating the feedback, by the way. Just wanted to know where it needs to be fixed.

I copied and pasted it into my browser and that is all that pops up, I can’t see your site at all.

Hmmm, that’s really weird. I’m not sure why it’s doing that. I did a search for myself online today and it looked ok to me. I will try logging off and see what it looks like.

Weird, maybe it is just me then.

I have actually had that happen with someone else… except I was chatting with them and I tried to add them but it was like their site didn’t exist and it clearly does….maybe it’s a wordpress glitch thing? You are welcome to try again whenever! 🙂

I really have no idea what is going on since it seems to look ok to me… follow buttons are showing up as well as everything else. Having a friend check it out too. Thank you again. I will keep an eye out for that problem still. Sorry this got so out of topic, but I really do appreciate it!
