April Wrap-Up

I know we are now in June and I’m a tad bit late with my wrap-up posts but I still wanted to post one for April as it was one of my best reading months so far this year. The reason I’m so late posting a wrap-up for April is because in May I ended up taking an unexpected break from blogging. I ended up with a really rotten head cold and then I was hit with a rather low point when it came to my anxiety and before I knew it we were already halfway through May however, towards the end of May things did start to turn around I felt a lot better and also I managed to shake off a reading slump thank god for that! So without further ado here is my belated April Wrap-Up:
