Shenanigans Since Last Time:

I read 12 books this month. Not the best, but I have been insanely busy, a lot of these books were long, and also it isn’t technically the end of the month when I am writing this, so. 

Um most of these were awesome? Sorry for the lack of snark but there shan’t be anything to snark in this group 🤯

Fancy & New Since Last I Saw You!

I love looking at pretty covers! So here are some new ones that I have fallen in love with since our last update!

Pretty covers are pretty.

Things we need to talk about at this juncture:

• As you read this, I am probably in Portugal. Or France or Spain or somewhere else, I am not a mind reader and I do not know your life or when you read this. Anyway the point is, I will do my very best to respond to you all… but it’ll be a minute! But don’t worry, I will have pictures for next month! 
• April was hard. Like where to begin? I had classes, which… I am not used to heh. Homework is a killer, especially at 40! Then Lena had softball legit nearly every day of the month. And work was… guys do not even get me started on work. I will probably have more details next month but it’s a whole clusterfuck. Oh, and I got sick. Can’t imagine how, not like I was literally run ragged bwhahah. The point is, friends, I need a vacation. Even though it won’t be super relaxing, it’ll still be fun hopefully! But Easter was nice, have some pictures!
  

  

   

Have a great May, loves! Let me know how your month was! Looking forward to anything coming up?
