April Reads

Thanks to all my romance novels this month I am only 5 books behind schedule on my yearly goal now. Woot woot, take that Goodreads! I read three different romance series this month adding up to 12 books so that was nice. In addition to a few other one other book. I do think I will switch back to YA for a bit. I have two YA books checked out from the library currently. Uglies and Looking for Alaska so I will start with them. Here is a complete list of books I read this month & my thoughts on them:

1. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot (reread)
2. Call Me Cat by Karpov Kinrade
3. Leave Me Love by Karpov Kinrade
4. Tell Me True by Karpov Kinrade
5. Stubborn Love by Wendy Owens
6. Only in Dreams by Wendy Owens
7. The Luckiest by Wendy Owens
8. 3:AM Kisses by Addison Moore
9. Winter Kisses by Addison Moore
10. Sugar Kisses by Addison Moore
11. Whiskey Kisses by Addison Moore
12. Rock Candy Kisses by Addison Moore
13. Velvet Kisses by Addison Moore

Whew. That's a lot of books for one month. All the rom-com books were super easy reads. I was reading about one a day on the days I would read. I think my favorite series was the one by Wendy Owens. I really like how all of the ones by Addison Moore are about college students. 

The Princess Diaries is a reread from my childhood. I go the first couple for my 12th birthday and I remember laying on the floor by the fireplace reading them. There is a new one out, Royal Wedding... So I would like to reread the whole series (especially cause I can't remember where I stopped in the series) and finish with it.

Oops.

 

I just realized April is almost over & I haven't posted once. Whoops. In my defense I have been reading a ton. Lately on the days I have been reading I've been reading about a book a day. That is because my friend Mistie has recommended all these romance novels. Before this month I think I'd maybe read like one... maybe. I just never cared for them. I couldn't relate. They were all about older men with fancy jobs who rescue the young woman and it just wasn't for me. However, these ones Mistie showed me are all about college students so its much easier to relate. It's like a little Rom-Com packed into a book. I think the thing I dislike the most is how the authors feel like they have to tie everything up with a perfect little bow. I mean yeah its sweet, but not exactly all that realistic. It is OKAY if the girl doesn't get EVERYTHING. She got a lot of things, she doesn't need the pony, and the jet, and the pool too (clearly an exaggeration but ya know).

Anyways, I know this wasn't an actual post really. More of just me rambling, but whatever, you read it. If I don't post before, I will post at the end of the month with all the books I have been reading & will say which ones were my favorite and which were just okay.
