Haunted Homicide by Lucy Ness My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read for #Book1CoziesClub I really enjoyed this. The mystery itself was a bit disappointing as it was predictable for me, but I really enjoyed meeting Clemmie and hearing about her story. I'm looking forward to seeing what Avery and Clemmie get up to in the next installment! View all my reviews

Check out what I read in the month of April, as well as if I completed all of the books I was supposed to read for Rotating Decks, my TBR Game which I started in April. Links after the break:

Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee My rating: 4 of 5 stars I don't read many historicals, but if you set a book on the Titanic, I am immediately intrigued. When I found out about this book and that it was from an Asian point of view, that made it a must read for me. This was my first read of a book from this author and I thought the writing style was very easy to read and get into. While I did enjoy this one as a whole, there were definite things I didn't enjoy including how the main character reacted to certain things within this book. I did however, enjoy several of the other characters we meet. As we get closer to the time the ship hits the iceberg, I became very invested in the characters and I couldn't put the book down. I wondered if any of them would perish or if they would survive. I wondered where and how this story would end. When I got there, I was definitely surprising and unexpected and even after turning the last page...

It's time for me to share with you all the manga that I picked up in the month of April! I hope to be getting to read a lot of manga in the month of May for my #MayMangaMadness challenge. If you'd like to join in, please do and use the hashtag ^-^ Also, if there are any titles you'd like to know my thoughts on, please let me know!

April was a bit of a slower stitching month for me, but I make up for that by sharing a yarn haul with you towards the end ^-^ After feeling a bit uninspired by what I was working on, I decided to indulge a little, so I hope you enjoy! Also working on a sock pattern, so if you'd like to test knit that for me, definitely let me know! Links after the break.

It's time for another round of Rotating Decks, my TBR game where I have UNO cards help me choose my prompts to build my TBR for the month. My game is based on a combination of the TBR Games from oceanreads and Writer of Wild Words who are linked below.  I will be doing a personal manga reading challenge in the month of May. The goal is to read as much manga as I can in the month, or at least more volumes than I had read to date this year. If you'd like to join in, please do! If you'd like to see my progress during the month or if you'd like to participate, be sure to use and follow #maymangamadness Links after the break.
