April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...
With the end of April brings the beginning of May and guess what that means?
SUMMER VACAY BABY!!!!!!!!!
Exams are DONE. School is DONE. And let me tell you, it is a glorious feeling. Do you hear that?
That's the sound of FREEDOM!
Yes. Yes I just put that picture on this post. Revel in it.
And freedom from school means the freedom to read! Let's face it, at college you read (or don't read) textbooks. When I get back, I study (ha!) and waste gross amounts of time watching Netflix (Doctor Who! Why have I not watched you before this year! What was my life like without you?!). Who needs a social life? So, summer vacation = reading time (and Netflix. Seriously, I waste way to much time on this).
Okay, so since this is a wrap-up post I suppose I should, you know, wrap up. So what happened in April?
