Month in Review:
What a doozy of a month! Similar to March, I had several NetGalley arcs to read, and another arc from publishers. My goals this month was to read five books, which I did, and two of those being ones that I own. I almost didn't make that goal; however, my best friend, Hunter gifted me a book that has been on my TBR for a while now (Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness). I was so blown away by her gift, I had to jump right in. It turned out to be my favorite book this month. I was engrossed and enraptured to the point I had trouble putting it down. The details could be a bit graphic, but seeing the journey through her eyes was a very unique experience. Another stand out favorite was Cottage by the Sea from NetGalley. Debbie Macomber was one of my aunt's favorite authors, so I jumped at the chance to read it. I quickly fell in love with the setting of Oceanside and the character Keaton, who was a gentle giant. Overall, it was a very satisfying reading month even with the disappointment of one DNF that I just couldn't get into.

What are some of the books you have been loving this month? What is a book that you have been wanting to read for a long time but haven't gotten to it yet? If there are any of these books you would like to see me do a review on, leave it down below as well.
