March 2014

This is going to be an echoing theme this year, I can already tell, but... can you guys believe it's APRIL? If I thought February passed by in a blur, March seriously just passed in a blink. I'm sure most of my forgetfulness about what went on this month is due to the undecided weather we're having, so here's to hoping April brings warmer days!

I failed a little at sharing more personal posts, though I managed to put up too. Hopefully, I transition into that better this April. Also, in case you've missed it, my sister Mel is back on the blog doing some reviews (which will add variety since she reads a lot of NA and paranormal YA). I also managed to do a bunch of Friends with ARCs posts with Rachel!

April is officially the month of pre-orders coming in, and many, many, many book events happening. There's a full list of the ones I know of (and will possibly attend) below, so don't be shy to hit me up on Twitter or say hello if you see me! I promise I don't bite :)
