Hello Spring! I cannot explain how happy I was when the last of the snow finally melted and I could pull my flip flops out from the back of the closet. That reminds me that I need to paint my toes a properly springy color. I have a neon green that would be just the thing.
I didn’t do a March wrap up because at the beginning of April I went on a multiple week hiatus so I’m going to combine both March and April for this wrap up. I expect it may get a little long…

As you can see I got on a bit of a Throne of Glass binge there for a bit. I was driving quite a bit, as in 5 hours a trip multiple times in April, so I listened to a great deal of that series in the last month. I just downloaded Empire of Storms and am going to get started on that one soon.
I have also decided that going forward I’m going to change up how I post. I was fairly adamant about doing Top Ten Tuesday and WWW Wednesday every week but you know what? I felt obligated to do those and it just wasn’t any fun anymore. Now, I’m only going to post what I want to post. If the TTT theme for the week sounds good, I’ll do it. If I’m not inspired, I just won’t. Simple. Or if life is getting hectic and I don’t have time I won’t feel bad about missing a little bit. Being excited about books and sharing that excitement shouldn’t be stressful.
Now, I think I’ve rambled on enough for now. This post has become far longer than I usually like to do them because my own attention span could fit into a teaspoon. So, thanks for joining me! Want to have a chat? You know where the comments are! Or find me on Twitter or Goodreads.
Have a happy, healthy, positive May.
Yay for the wrap up! Hopefully things are going better too 🙂 I’m sure your pupper is still giving you a run for your money lol. Hopefully next month is even better 🙂

Thanks sugar. Poe is definitely giving me a run for my money. He gets horribly car sick so, per the vet, we got him dramamine to try to calm his stomach. Gave it to him, waited a bit, took him for a ride. The smell of dog vomit will never be entirely out of my car. Can’t even get a mile and he loses it. He is my big furry baby and I love him.
