April 2015 - Looking Back

In case you missed the several delayed Looking Back posts, I've been dreadfully behind on posting monthly wrap up posts. So, welcome to April 2015 Looking Back! (Aka Violet's trying to get back onto a schedule for posting...) Anyways! April was a very busy month, with a little bit of travel and hectic to-do lists making for the month to go by very quickly. I still ended up reading several books, so I thought I would share those, talk about some posts, and more!

Posts I've Loved:

There are a ton of posts that I've been reading and loving more and more because I've been reading more posts on Bloglovin' lately, so I have a full and detailed list on my Bloglovin' that you can check out (here's a link to my Bloglovin' collections), and since there's over 20 posts saved on that list alone, I didn't think there'd be a very efficient way to share them in a wrap up post. If you guys would like me to pick a few randomly from my favorites posts I've read monthly collections that I think I'm going to start doing, let me know, or I'll link Paper Worlds and Swirls of Ink and my own Bloglovin' so you can check those out as well.

There's my April 2015 Looking Back post! I'm trying to think of features or ways to expand on this a little, so if you have any ideas please let me know. Also, reviews of both The Winner's Curse and The Winner's Crime are posted on the blog (linked above), and for Underworld I was thinking about reading the third book and then doing A Series in Summation review of the entire trilogy. I'll be back soon with another post, and thank you for stopping by!

From the paper world,
