Let's chat about the 8 books I read in April ✨a strong reading month with so many 4 and 5-star reads, a new favourite sci-fi, and only one book that really didn’t work for me.
In this wrap-up, I share everything I read, my honest thoughts, and which books are actually worth adding to your TBR. Thanks for watching!
