April just flew by, but here’s what I’ve been up to in the past month…

In the Works: I am reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and listening to Okay for Now at the moment. I’ve got a huge stack of library books I’m hoping to tackle as well, including Sloppy Firsts, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Simply From Scratch. For the Book Hoarders Anonymous May read-along, I’ll be reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I was hesitant about until I saw how short it is! I’m also waiting for a couple books from the library, which may or may not get to me this month– Insurgent, of course, and also Wife 22. If you can’t tell, I have been needing a break from the dystopia and have been trying to include a little more contemporary, romance/chick lit, as well as a few adult books, too.
How was your April? What are you looking forward to in the coming month?
Don't Take My Books Away 
I think I overdosed on dystopian too! I’m definitely a mood reader and right now, my mood is contemp or historical fiction. As you know, I’m reading Second Helpings right now and might read a fantasy next (since I do have two from the library right now). Insurgent is on hold for me as well…should be the only dystopian for a while!
I think I need to start doing round ups! I like the idea of summarizing a month of reading!
Sounds like a fun month planned for you, too! I’m #18 on my library’s hold list for Insurgent… I am getting impatient as I see people finishing it in a day. Oh well, maybe Jessica Darling will distract me for a bit?
It’s always crazy for me to look at what I’ve read in a month… I always read more than I feel like I did. I am a little obsessed with tracking my reads, so this just feeds into that. haha
Sounds like you’ve got a good month ahead of you! I hope you enjoy Charlie. I’m already almost done with it! It’s a super quick read.
I’m looking forward to it as a quick read as I’ve been having commitment issues with books lately. As in, I start one, then start another, then start another and may or may not finish them all. I figure a short, fun book will help focus me a bit.
