Once in a while, you come across a book that really makes you stop and think about just why you’re a reader in the first place. These are the moments that make you grateful to be able to step out of our world and experience life, briefly, through the eyes of someone else.

WWW Wednesday invites you to ask just three simple questions:
What are you reading?
What did you just finish reading?
What will you be reading next?

What are you reading?
I am finally picking up Prodigy after reading Legend back in December. I am taking advantage of the free time and picking this one up. So far it’s been pretty good, but the beginning has been a bit slow.
–
What did you just finish reading?
So I took a Shakespeare class this semester and I have been wanting to read more of the bard’s works. I decided, on a whim, to pick up A Midsummer’s Night Dream. When I read Henry IV, Part I for class, I honestly can say that I could not remember a single thing that happened in that play even after finishing a scene, let alone an act. For me, when reading A Midsummer’s Night Dream, I had the exact same experience.
–
What will you read next?
So I ordered Champion today, and I do not think that it will be here by the time that I finish Prodigy. In continuing with my trend of finishing series, if by the time I finish Prodigy, Champion has not arrived, I’ll most likely be picking up Evermore to finish the Everless duology.

I know I am posting this a bit late, but finals are finally over so this blog and reading can finally be my primary focus again! Despite this, I did manage to get a good chunk of reading done last month and am already knocking this month out of the park. Without further ado, here are the books that I managed to read in April!

April Wrap-Up
(Any books in italics were are books that I had to read…
So the reading rush was this weekend, and I did not accomplish nearly as much as I had initially hoped to.
Here is a link to my initial post, to see the challenges and the TBR that I had planned for this weekend.
The general TBR was…
I managed to only complete Locke and Key. I read 109 pages of Red, White, and Royal Blue and 63 pages of Cracked Up to Be. I was also able to finish Henry IV, Part I, but that was because I had to due to class.
Overall, I finished two books and got about a quarter into two other ones. While it’s not the greatest, it is absolutely better than nothing.
Did you partake in the reading rush? What was it that you read this weekend? Let me know down in the comments!
It’s half over, but last minute I decided to join the reading rush. Do I think I will be able to achieve all of these goals? Not entirely, but I can sure as heck try.
Here is my TBR
Read a Book with a House on the Cover
This one I already read and wasn’t a big fan of. I’m still going to watch the new show though.
Read a Book in the Same Room the Whole Time
For this I chose two, as I am in a weird reading mood at the moment where I pick something up and then put it down quickly if I am not immediately hooked.
Read a Book Set Somewhere You Wish You Could Go
I truly want to go to England and sadly, some of my really close friends had their study abroad semester cut short due to the craziness in the world right now.
Read a Book that Will Make You Smile
V.E. Schwab is my absolute favorite author and her stories always tend to put a smile on my face.

There is my TBR. With half the reading rush already done, I’m not sure that I can get everything I plan to read completed, especially with all the schoolwork, but I have a rough outline for what I would like to complete.
Are you participating in the reading rush? What’s on your TBR? What have you already accomplished? Let me know down in the comments!

I have read a lot of books that I enjoyed, but since I don’t have many friends in real life that read as much as me, I often don’t have anyone to share these books with. So, here are the top ten books that I have read.
Have you read any of the following? Let me know what you thought about them!

What are you reading?
I am about half way through this! It’s pretty good, but there are some really heavy political elements within the book. Based off of the current political climate, I find myself unable to stay focused at times and I’m not sure this is the right book for me. I might have to put it down for a bit and pick up something else, just due to the intensity of it at moments.
I am also currently reading The Late Mattia Pascal for my European Tradition course. I am not really enjoying this and mostly skimming through it, to be completely honest. It’s also just hard to focus, doing school work from home.
–
What did you just finish reading?
Another book for class that I just skimmed. I did not enjoy this at all. It was for my world literature course, and if it weren’t for that, I probably wouldn’t have picked this up.
–
What will you be reading next?
I truly want to pick up All the Light We Cannot See, but again, I’m unsure if this is going to be too heavy. I would also like to pick up Every Other Weekend again, after starting it on the train coming home for spring break, and then just never picking it up again.
I also need to start reading this for my Shakespeare class, for tomorrow actually, so this will be the first thing I pick up before anything else.

So here’s my WWW Wednesday! Let me know if you have read any of my above picks and what you thought of them!

There’s the saying, you can’t judge a book by its cover. However, us readers do on a constant basis, even if we tell ourselves we don’t. I constantly say that I don’t but I definitely do. Here are the ten books that I have purchased due to being attracted to the cover.

There you have my top ten cover lust buys! While, granted, some of these were purchased after reading the descriptions as well, I truly am attached to these covers.

Well this month is finally over. It did not seem like it was ever going to end! Thankfully we are on to the start of a new month and hopefully it does not feel as long as March did. With all the craziness of moving back home and doing online school, I still managed to get an immense amount of reading done. Here are all the books that I managed to read this month!

I’ve had multiple posts detailing that “I am finally back to blogging”, but this time, I truly mean it.
As basically everyone else in the world today, I am stuck social isolating in my house. I have been forced to finish this semester of college online back home. Needless, to say, everyone has been relatively bored. However, even though I am reading an immense amount of books for my classes, but…
