Yeah, I know, I was so desperate for Salt that I requested it on two sites and got approved for both. I feel so bad, but Iβm also so happy that I have an ARC of it! Edelweiss for sure showed up big for me in April! Actually, April was just an amazing month for ARCS in general. Hell, I canβt even properly form words to express how thankful I am that I was able to get my hands on a copy of The Wicked King this month. Diana, youβre the best, and I love you. But I hope April was filled with books that made you all feel the way The Wicked King makes me feel. Happy reading, loves! ππ

Oh. My. God. That UK Circe spine is jaw-droppingly gorgeous??? I have a confession to make: one of the main reasons I still haven’t bought Circe is because I can’t decide if I wanted the US or UK cover. But you may have just made up my mind…XD And We are the Ants is so so very good! Also, YAY BARU! β€ β€

Nice haul! I loved Ace of Shades so much – one of my top reads this year so far. I’ve about given up on Edelweiss. It says my profile is strong, I’ve reviewed every book I’ve received, but out of the last 10 requests, I’ve been denied every time. Have no idea why.

Thank you, Teri! And I’m so excited to start Ace of Shades today now! And that’s how I feel with EW… sometimes I get everything, sometimes I get denied everything. I’m guessing it’s just the luck of the person who is doing the approving? But I’m sorry, love! Happy May and happy reading! πxx
