Hello Friends!! How was everyones week? Not a lot going on here just waiting for warmer weather and we have been spending a lot of time with family! For April I read 17 books which is a lot for me. I have been listening to a lot more audio books than usual and that is helping with my numbers. My favorite this month was a tie between Twice Shy and Second First Impressions both just hit me in the feels and I loved them! My least favorite was Love Her Or Lose Her, I just didn’t like it.
