April Wrap-up, Haul, and May TBR
I am
happy to say I got myself out of my slump this month and actually ended up
reading quite a lot of material. I say material because some of what I read was
comic books and a graphic novel. This post kick-starts middle-grade May which is where I review only middle-grade
books all May. These reviews will be heavily geared towards parents.
The lineup so far:
May 8th Some
Kind of Courage by Dan Gemeinhart
May 15th Harry
Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K Rowling
May 22nd Percy
Jackson and The Olympians Book 1: The
Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Books Read
What got me out of my slump are
these guys right here:
Nightwing
Comics. They were given to me by my uncle and I thought they looked pretty cool
so I started reading them immediately. Nightwing is in the same "world" as
Batman. In fact, I’m pretty sure he was the first Robin the Wonder Boy. I
thought these comics were super entertaining and Nightwing is just . . . awesome.
I was then (finally) able to finish
The Love That Split the World by
Emily Henry and move on to the next books which were Sudden Mission and Nasty
Leftovers by Guy L. Pace. I wrote a full review on both books and they were
both pretty cool.
Next, I read my first graphic novel
Through the Woods by Emily Carroll.
The art in this book is just stunning. Seriously, the pictures don’t do it any justice. This is a book of short
horror/spooky stories and I loved every one of them.
The last book I read is Some Kind of Courage by Dan Gemeinhart
which you will see a full review of next week. I’m so excited to write the
review for this book because it was SO GOOD.
April Haul
The first book is one I bought and
it’s The Hunger Games by Suzanne
Collins. I have read the entire series but do not have the physical copies of
any of them. I received an Amazon gift card as thanks for some work I did
and purchased Miss Mayhem by Rachel
Hawkins, Nimona by Noel Stevenson,
and Through the Woods by Emily
Carroll. I also went to a book talk at a high school near me and got to bring home
two ARCs. The Land of 10,000 Madonnas
by Kate Hattemer and Fiona by Meredith
Moore.
