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...
I SURVIVED DAY ONE!!!!
^You're welcome
To bad I failed ridiculously well in the area of reading.
I blame the fact that I was driving a good chunk of the day. Can't exactly read and drive simultaneously. Well, you could, technically, just probably shouldn't. I was tempted though....
Moving on....
Pages read: 64 (awesome right?)
Books finished: none

Ruin and Rising (The Grisha Trilogy #3)
by Leigh Bardugo
First off, let me just point out how beautiful those covers are! Gorgeous!
Okay, so I hate to say that for some reason I wasn't in love with the second book. Sturmhond was who really made me at least enjoy it. However, this plot line and just series in general and I love it. I can't wait to see where it goes and get immersed back in the mythology and THE DARKLING!
Midnight Thief (Midnight Thief)

ASSASSINS
Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass #3)

This series can DO NO WRONG (knock on wood)! But seriously, this series is phenomenal. The characters, the plot, the MYTHOLOGY!! Can't....can't handle! And..........
