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...
Yesterday MYRA (MN Youth Reading Awards) announced the winners of the Maud Hart Lovelace award. I love this award because it's based on kids' favorites.

My students were in love with The War that Saved My Life and Beneath. And of course, we loved Turn Left at the Cow because of its Minnesota connection.
They also announced the nominees for next year. Here they are:
What have you read of these??? I know I've got some reading to do now!
