- I also did some mini Movie reviews!!
- Last but not the least, I collaborated with Fernanda @ Mystery Date with a Book and discussed the pros and cons of book blogging.
Life Updates:
I am kind of relieved this month is over. Lately, I am having a lot of bad luck with my health which is affecting all the other areas of my life. It sucks. But I hope to be back in my game from May. Bookish wise, I had lots of fun, I read a lot of good books, had a rereading session of Penryn and the End of Days trilogy by Susan Ee with Raven @ Dreamy Addictions. I went to the movies and enjoyed Power Rangers with my little brother. I only bought one book this month, love, and you by Gretchen Gomez and I loooved it so much!! I hope all of you guys give it a try.
Aaand, I won Camp NaNoWriMo!! I only decided to write 15k this month as I had a busy schedule which made it a good decision. But I am super happy that I managed to reach my goal. At first, I decided to continue with Crown’s Bane, my fantasy novel but I still need to work on the world-building so, I started writing Finding Love, a contemporary romance, which is book 2 of my Chasing Love series but it can be read as a standalone. I hope to continue with it so that I am able to wrap it up by July’s camp. Who’ll be participating in July’s camp as well?
Aaaaand that’s a wrap-up! ❤
So guys, how was your April? Do we have any books in common? What are your April favourites? Aaand, what are your reading goals for May?
I am so sorry hear that about your health. I had no idea. I hope that you’re on the mend and feeling much better though, Poulami! Take care of yourself.

I absolutely loved it!! The concept was unique and although a little predictable, I loved the chemistry between the two main leads. I hope you love the book as much as I did. 🙂

Congrats on being a very productive reader! I’ve been in a crazy book slump because of work, but I’m trying to get into some backlisted titles to ease the pressure. How did you think about Confess? I also just read it earlier this year before the series came out and I loved it!
Also, congrats on winning NaNoWriMo! Hope your May will be as productive as last month! 🙂

I absolutely loved Confess, the twist was pretty unique, I read it the day before I started watching the show , so same here, it was quite enjoyable as well.
Thank you once again and I hope the same for you. ❤

Congrats Poulami!!!! You won NaNoWriMO!!!! Wow.
I hope your health gets better. I’ve had health problems as well but since two days it’s my server (hosting) that’s super slow as they have problems and I’m positively MAD about it. On the other hand I feel guilty because it’s such a small problem compared to health problems. Now where can we read what you wrote? Here on your blog?
