April 2018 Reading Tracker

Here’s my planned to read list:

Do you plan ahead what you’re going to read? 📚 (Do not hit me up saying you’re a mood reader! Reading is a mood-based activity. That’s why I plan a stack with no special order.) 📚 This is my to read stack for April. I think it’s a little too ambitious but I’ve carried over most of these books for two solid months so it’s time. As is my way I am currently reading something else but really hoping to knock a couple of these out soon. 📚 Have you read any of these? Where should I start? 📚 #instabooks #currentlyreading #amreading #instareads #bookgram #bookworm #bookblogging #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #booklove #bookphotography #instabook #reading #reader #booktography #bookstagram #igreads #booksofinstagram #goodreads #bookaholic #bookish #bookishfeature #bookstafeatures #bookstagramfeature #readersofinstagram #bookstack #toread #toberead

So I read a lot this month including THE WICKED KING (SO GOOD OMG) and a new surprise favorite Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi. But I kind of failed at my planned reading. I’m hoping to knock out the lingering titles (Our Dark Duet, Votes for Women, I Capture the Castle, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Now a Major Motion Picture) next month but I think for some it’s officially make or break time. In other words, if I’m not reading them now I may not read them ever.

I also might have to admit that my dual goal to read more nonfiction AND more adult books may have been too ambitious. I’m doing great with adult titles but nonfiction has been a struggle and I might have to admit that it’s okay to let that go for now.

You can also see what I read in March.
