For April, I thought I would do something a little different and instead of full reviews, I’m doing this flash style with one sentence reviews.

I read way more than expected in April, and overall I had a really good reading month ♥

All the titles are linked to their Goodreads page, so you can check out their synopsis if you aren’t familiar with the plots!

Wolfsong; T.J. Klune

rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

Fast paced and interesting narrative style, but so many men made frustrating decisions.

🌺🌺🌺

A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting; Sophie Irwin

rating: ⭐⭐⭐

An easy, fun read, but not enough focus on the progression of Kitty and Radcliffe’s romantic relationship.

🌺🌺🌺

The Anthropocene Reviewed; John Green

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Heartwarming, funny, interesting and would love more like this from John Green ♥

🌺🌺🌺

The Wolf and the Woodsman; Ava Reid

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A gritty fairytale, with body horror magic, that grips you with the hate to love romance, but lacked in the development of court politics and should have been longer!

🌺🌺🌺

Her Dark Wings; Melinda Salisbury

rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

A Hades and Persephone retelling with some great characters from Greek mythology – kind of vapid in places, but I ate this up so quickly!

The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill; C.S Robertson

rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

The initial mystery was a fantastic way to set up such an unhinged twist! (p.s. there were times when you can tell this female character was written by a man).

🌸🌸🌸

The Devil in Winter; Lisa Kleypas

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Evie – my favourite Wallflower – takes the reigns of her own life and proposes a marriage of convenience to a well known rogue, who promptly comes to adore her ♥

🌸🌸🌸

Women Who Read Are Dangerous; Stefan Bollmann, Karen Joy Fowler (Foreword)

An interesting look at the history of women’s roles in art and the politics of reading within a beautiful book.

🌸🌸🌸

Vincent Van Gogh: A Life in Letters; Nienke Bakker, Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

Vincent Van Gogh was a passionate man with flaws that he wore on his sleeves – such a wonderful collection of letters, but I wish some of Theo’s were included.

🌸🌸🌸

Hell Breaks Loose; Derek Landy

rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Was initially mad that this was marketed as a Dead Man prequel when it isn’t, but Valkyrie didn’t annoy me as much as I thought so actually had a pretty good time.
