Here's a terribly lit photo of the only books added to my TBR in February. Both of them were preorders so technically I bought NO BOOKS.

❤️ Radiant Sin by Katee Robert

❤️ Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare

Wonder if I can keep the streak into March... 😂

I took two books out of my collection in January - one read and one not. I'm not saying no to Uprooted for ever. I'm just saying not any time soon. And Angelopolis was a DNF so shan't be keeping it around. #bookstragram #booksandskulls #dnf #bookunhaul #byebyebooks #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFR5k3jhdD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Can I just say how thankful I am to @thebooknetwork.co.uk for letting me be a part of this tour?! @tompemberton_farmlife is a very well known name in our family - my father discovered YouTube when he finally got a smart TV last year. As a 7th+ generation* dairy farmer's daughter Tom's book describes a life and conversations that I know only too well. I loved that he didn't shy away from anything and you could tell he wrote with as much honesty as care. His personality REALLY shines through in his writing and I honestly have to say that his dad was my favourite part of this (Sorry Tom 🙈). This was a book about farming by someone with true passion - although it honestly takes a different breed of person to farm, and Tom is evidently part of this breed. I've always said farming was the only life long condition none of the "suffers" are interested in recovering from. I got the eBook of this in exchange for a honest review and my honest review is that this book is going to be a triumph in both the farming community and those just beginning to learn about the people who feed us. Farmers are going to enjoy it not only because Tom has a mixed farm and so covers cattle, sheep, and arable, but also because it gives them a nosey into how someone else does what they do - and there is noone nosier than a farmer, in my experience anyways. *I say "7th+ generation" as that's as far back as we've ever seen records for. #countrybumpkinthroughandthrough #booktour #review #farming #tompemberton #MakeHayWhileTheSunShines #books #nonfiction #farmlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CdqquqnsboW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

April 2022 Reading Stats and Wrap Up

I kind of found my stride again in April, reading wise. Still a slower month but a decidedly less slumpy one so I am more than ok with that. Plus for April being my birthday month, the intake of books was quite restrained and I’m rather proud of myself.

A rather small March wrap up is now live on my blog. I read some really good books in March, even if I only read 8 total. #Ariadne by @jennifer.saint.author was truly special. #bookstagram #readingwrapup #useyourlibrary #booksbooksbooks #harrypotter #marchwrapup #bookblog #arcs #reviewcopies https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2BcgnDzCO/?utm_medium=tumblr
