Kinda funny to me that My Sh*t Therapist by Michelle Thomas and How To Be Your Own Therapist by Owen O’Kane are both in the 2 for 1 Audible UK sale right now.

“How were others to know that beneath her cloak of adept composure there existed a panicked thing, alternately crying and screaming and longing for a nap and all while craving something glazed in sugar?”

Mildred is a woman after my own heart.

“when something had her all in a panic, she often found the most successful way of pushing the panic aside was to continually nibble on things until there was simply no more room in her physical body for anything like worry or fear to take up residence)”

Girl, same. This book really reminds me of Emily Wilde so far. They could be long lost cousins.

“But there was still the promise of the book and the candle and her bare toes wriggling between freshly laundered sheets once the rest of the house had gone quiet. It really was the little things, she reminded herself, that raised each day to the level of something bearable.”

My brain either wants to voraciously devour a book (or two) in one sitting or take teeny tiny little mouse nibbles out of 101 books until it gets a taste for one. There is no inbetween. Today is a mouse day, incase you were wondering.

This seems really cool so far, I’ve yet to meet a T. Kingfisher book I didn’t like.

Enjoying my first Holly Black so far. I don’t know why I haven’t got started with her Faerie books before now. I think I probably just never knew where out of all the series and tie-ins to start reading, it’s a lot to take in 😅

Ooof, this was one of my Taurus season picks but at 15.5 hours she feels, pardon the pun, beefy. I didn’t even get 1% in and I already feel like I’ve bitten off more than my attention span can chew right now 😬

I don’t know why but I eat up content where men are reading ACOTAR & ToG. It’s not like a thirst thing, they’re always someone’s husband or some shit. There is just something so wholesome and fun about watching them slowly getting invested and addicted.

Did I pick this at random because it’s pink and it’s Wednesday? Yes I did 🌸

April Wrap Up:
32 books
9244 pages
Average star rating: 3.96
4x 5 star reads
9% digital and 91% audio

April was the month of self-help and non-fiction, making up 25% of my total read.

I switched to majority audio format and took a couple days off from reading, which I’m chalking up to my mental health at the mo.

On a positive note, 4x 5 star reads & no books below 3 stars for the whole month 🎉

Yeah yeah yeah, I’ll admit it. I spoke too soon 🤣

Oh, it’s so chill and tame. What was I even scared of hockey romances for? Either nothing, or I’m in for a surprise real soon 🤣

Confession.. I’ve been putting this off and I’m low key scared to start 😬

“The hardest question I have ever been asked is: How do I stay alive for other people, if I have no one?
The answer is that you stay alive for other versions of you.
For the people you will meet, yes sure, but also for the people you will be.”

“Reading a great book in a great jumper with some great socks on while it’s raining outside.”
- From the list of “good things”.

Hoping to finish this one today 🤞🏻

As a mood reader who is not enjoying anything I choose for myself rn, I wish I could just type “trashy” into Audible or Kindle and have the right suggestions come up, like Netflix. I’ve tried it but the recommendations never end up actually being enjoyable or popular.
