April Wrap Up I read so much in April. I can’t believe it! I’ve also learned to tab books. I’m only planning to do it with fantasy books though. I feel like it will definitely help me from losing track of things.

Crown Of Midnight By Sarah J. Maas More Details: SERIES: Throne Of Glass Book Two BOOK TYPE: Fantasy PAGES: 418 Published September 2nd 2014 by Bloomsbury USA Childrens Purchase Synopsis: An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt but her heart never wavers. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she hides her secret vigilantly, her deadly charade becomes difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. No one is above questioning her allegiance—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart. Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena’s world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie … and whom she is willing to fight for.

One Last Time By Corinne Michaels More Details: BOOK TYPE: Romance TIME: 8 hours and 55 minutes Published February 26th 2018 by Corinne Michaels Purchase Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling author, Corinne Michaels, comes a new heartwarming standalone romance. I’m getting really good at cutting my losses. First, the husband. Divorcing him was the best decision I ever made. But between single-parenting and job-hunting, I can’t catch my breath. When a celebrity blogging position falls into my lap, I’m determined to succeed. That is, until I get my first assignment and actually see Noah Frazier for the first time . . . practically naked and dripping wet. My heart races and I forget how to form complete sentences. His chiseled abs, irresistible smirk, and crystal blue eyes are too perfect to be real. So, what do I do? Get drunk and humiliate myself, of course. I’m ready to forget the awkward night, yet Noah has no intention of allowing me to move on. Instead, he arranges for
