What a strange month! There were so many wonderful events and I was a little ambitious with my pile of possibilities. I was only able to complete ONE from my official TBR for transgirlapril and ZERO for PeopleApril. Both were wonderful events hosted by fantastic BookTubers. My BookTube Prize reading took a lot more time than I imagined. Lesson Learned (maybe 🤣)
