Sooo super low reading month for me… and an even worse blogging month… I guess I really underestimated the stress of exams. But who cares?! Exams are done and June is upon us with lots of summer reading and blogging 😀
Books I have read in April
Amy’s Diary by Maureen Lee * * *
This a very short book follows Amy during the second world war and how she deals with being a young woman in England during wartime. It was an interesting read based on the historical setting but I found the small 100 pages limiting the book’s full potential. You can read my mini review here 🙂
The Exact Opposite Of Okay by Laura Steven * * * * *
In May I also managed to read The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven and I am so happy that I did! This book was almost everything! It was provocative, challenging, sad, serious, cheeky and last but not least this book was hilarious! I laughed out loud several times – Izzy O’Neill is a such an entertaining and funny narrator! I couldn’t get enough of her!
But the importance of this books is that it challenges the norms of today’s society and how we treat women! There are a lot of things we should quit doing and a lot of things we should start doing. Anyway, I simply can’t wait for the sequel to come out! I hope to write a review and post it on my blog in June 😀
Other bookish stuff
As of now, I am 529 pages in War Storm by Victoria Aveyard!… Can’t wait for the final and to know how it all ends! I hope to keep you posted with a review once I am finished 😉
Great post from around the book blogging community
Evelina @ Avelina’s Books has made a new feature introducing new bloggers to the book blogging community. I believe this is the first of several posts take a look! #NewBloggersWelcome!! May Newcomers – Edition #1
What’s up for June!
So for June, I am going to finish War Storm and I plan on reading Emergency Contact which I didn’t get a chance to start on in May. Hopefully, I will read one or two other books but I haven’t really decided which – maybe Always and Forever, Laura Jean, because then i would have complete the series. 😉

How was your May? What did you read and/or write?
I hope you enjoy Emergency Contact!! And yay for free summers! Wooo!
I actually can’t wait to get started! Have you read it?
The best!!!
Yes, I have read Emergency Contact. I enjoyed it so much! Literally one of my faves this year.
Nice!!! I am starting today so excited now :))
2 books read sounds like a decent run for me. Maybe I’m underestimating what’s involved in book blogging. Can I ask what a good reading month looks like to you?
I guess a good readig month for me is 4 books. Maybe 3 if they were long. Which I guess isn’t that much more than 2 ;)But I am relatively new to the book blogging community I have discovered that there are some bloggers who read MANY books a month. I, however, belong to the group that strives to read 4 books a month.
I think I’m in your group. As much as I’d like to read more than that, I’ve got too much going on to commit to more than 4.
Yes exactly, I am glad I’m not the only one
I can’t wait to read The Exact Opposite of Okay and I am glad that you liked it 🙂 I never knew that there is a sequel to it.
I hope June is better for you 🙂
Yes, I really liked it! You should definitely read it. There will be, I think it will be out in March 2019 :))
Glad to have introduced you into the community, and thanks for sharing the post 🙂
Emergency Contact is on my list to read for this summer. I have a hardcover ready to go. I look forward to reading your review after I finish reading the book myself.
I have the hardcover edition too. It is sooo pretty :)) I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you have read it!
