    1. Paper & Fire is awesome! I think while Ink & Bone still somewhat resembles Harry Potter, the 2nd book turned the gear and it’s just absolutely unique! ❤️ I hope you will enjoy it when July comes (I know right, it soooo far away TT^TT)

  1. Wow! 31 books in one month??? That’s really crazy and pretty impressive! I haven’t read Pucked but I really want to check it out. Lately, I’ve been hearing great things about Star Touched queen I must read it ASAP. I’m so glad you enjoyed Paper Princess! I’m dying to read it’s sequel. 😀

  2. 31 BOOKS? That’s really impressive and amazing and just wow ! Can I have your reading abilities haha?
    I read 5 books this month HAHA. But I’m okay with that number since I had little to no time to read, but even if I did I wouldn’t be able to pull off one book a day, I’m definitely not a quick reader!

    1. My talent is all yours hahaha 😆
      I think taking your time with books is DEFINITELY a good habit. My mom always teases me about my reading, saying that I probably just turn the pages lol 😂 Thanks for the comment though. Hope you have a great month of reading in May! ❤️

    1. You consume the book straight, that’s the trick… 🍴📚
      Wait, no no, haha. I’m just kidding 😂 I’m really not sure. I just sit down and magically an hour later, the book turned to its last page. Though I think it has something to do with my kindle, since I read slower on printed copy. Maybe because of how big the words are… 😕

      1. I usually read three books at once, one because I can and two because I get easily distracted from the content if I’m reading on my Kindle app. Like I’ll check out Twitter and Instagram so I use different books to be able to keep my attention on reading.

  3. Wooooaah, awesome wrap-up!! And here I am thinking that 6-ish books read a month is something to be proud about xD I’m glad to see that you had such a great reading month — who knows, at this rate maybe next month you’ll have 62 read! 😀

    1. 6 books per month IS GOOD! I think having time to savoring the book is much better ❤️ And thank you for the nice words, though I think my parents wouldn’t be so happy if that happens, it’s their salary after all haha 😂
