April 2018 Wrap Up!
Hello! I did a lot of writing (and querying literary agents!) in April, so I managed to read ten books. A slight drop from last month, but still pretty good! There were definitely some great books I read, but this has been the first month in 2018 that I didn't rate a single book 5 stars. (A few got close, though!)
Read on for the ratings and rundown on what I read this month; full reviews will be linked!
