April Wrap Up

Hey there bookworms,

here's my April reading wrap up! A little late this time, but I've been super busy with my internship and with filming another video for booktube (in which I gush about the Netflix adaptation of Shadow and Bone, you can watch it here)! Still, April was a rather good reading month for me.

Top 5 Wednesday: Underhyped Stars

Hey there bookworms,

today's T5W topic is one I have been looking forward to: Underhyped Stars! I'll be talking about five books I loved but that I hadn't heard of in the book community before. I wish more people knew about these books! T5W is a weekly book blogging meme currently hosted by Alex (The Scribe Owl) in the official goodreads group.

My Physical TBR

Hey there bookworms,

I filmed another booktube video and I'll probably do so more often again. I don't know if it's gonna become a regular thing because filming and editing is a lot of work, but I definitely had a lot of fun too. In today's video I'm showing you all the unread books on my shelves!

Top 5 Wednesday: Well That Dragged

Hey there bookworms,

today's T5W topic is about books that dragged - be it because the pacing was off or because it just took me too long to read them for another reason, or simply books that went on longer than necessary. T5W is a weekly book blogging meme currently hosted by Alex (The Scribe Owl) in the official goodreads group!

There are a couple of well loved, popular books on my list, but as always, this is just my personal opinion and experience!
