I took advantage of a my birthday month free Book of the Month deal and got two books this month.
The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver
All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace
I grabbed a clearance copy of Empress of the Seven Hills by Kate Quinn from Half Price Books.
For my birthday day out, I visited at cavern of a used bookstore. I limited myself to only buying five books. Seriously I could buy dozens from there. It’s the perfect bookstore of serendipity. I picked up:

UnRead Shelf Plans
For April, the prompt is the book you most recently acquired. I’ve gotten a few books in the past month; it was my birthday month. I decided to choose one of those books and I’m going with All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace. And here’s my ambitious UnRead Shelf TBR pile for April:
Movies watched
Little Monsters - Delightful zombie movie!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - The more I think about it, the less I like this movie.
The Gentleman - Thankfully this was a return to the good Guy Ritchie movies.
Birds of Prey - This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
TV Shows watched
Last Week Tonight - We caught up before the show had to change format.
The Magicians S5 - Last season… it has gutted me.
Doctor Who - Decent season finale.
Broadchurch S2 - Finally getting this season started.
Superstore - We caught up.
Comments - Being forced to stay at home has definitely helped my reading life, but has been a detriment to my mental health. I need a better balance. Hoping to focus on picking books that I will enjoy (not “required” reading) and get myself in a better place.
