So April was a pretty good month for books an I just about hit my target of getting all of the reviews up mid June. Just. Kinda
I’ve been reading a LOT of books that don’t fit an open prompt (as in I’ve only done 1 in April) so PLEASE let me know if you’ve got any suggestions. I could really do with them. Although at this point I’m thinking I’ll just take my list with me to YALC and ask at every table.
