It’s time for another monthly book blog wrap-up featuring the month of April. I felt busier than I actually was (?), mainly because the past couple of days I’ve been hard at work putting together posts for Wyrd and Wonder. Which has nothing to do with April, but so it goes! I surprised myself in April by posting for five days straight the week of April 4. That’s hardly the norm for me, so don’t get used to it. But keep reading to see what you might have missed this past month.
Book Reviews
I posted four book reviews in April. From earliest to latest, here are my recent book reviews.
- The Gilded Ones By Namina Forna
- The Cicada Tree By Robert Gwaltney
- Wild And Wicked Things By Francesca May
- Kaikeyi By Vaishnavi Patel
Book Memes and Other Posts
I posted the following book memes:

I also participated in the Support Book Bloggers Challenge by writing about three (free!) things you can do to help book bloggers.

A few more lovely people followed my blog to bring my total to 65 of my 2022 goal of 100. Thank you to my new blog followers for helping me make my way to that goal!
In April my blog saw more unique visitors than the previous month. I don’t know how or why I’m seeing this upward trend, but I’m super happy and thankful to see it! Please keep visiting!

#BeatTheBacklog
Lisa at Owl Be Sat Reading started the hashtag #BeatTheBacklog to rally those who want to make a dent in their TBR list. Two of the books I read in April fall under #BeatTheBacklog: THESE HOLLOW VOWS by Lexi Ryan and TELL ME AN ENDING by Jo Harkin.
Other Bookish Progress
I posted a massive book haul rounding up my purchases in March. It took forever to format, so please do click and admire all things bookish in that post.
I posted my Trope-Ical Readathon March 2022 Wrap-Up detailing the books I finished for that readathon
And I also joined Mythothon Round 6, where I posted by reads for Team Isis. I still need to do a wrap-up post for this…somewhere in between all of the Wyrd and Wonder posts.
