How is it that April has come and gone already? I had such great plans for catching up with reviews and glancing below, you can see that that did not happen. Oh well…one of these days I’ll get the reviews written. I just have so many books to read and sitting down to write the rewiews does’t always sound as appealing as writing the review. May is looking to be another busy month of new releases so I expect a good month of reading – now if only the weather would cooperate so I could start reading outside!
