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.
What did you read in April? Let me know in the comments!
Thank you for reading!
I hope you’re having a lovely day and staying safe ♥
