- Life Update - 
I am now fully trained for two routines at the aquarium, landed a second part-time gig lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons, received my first COVID vaccine, and have taken both the bus and the train out and about (which was a doozy, but I'm learning)!

If you need me, as you can see, I'll be reading.

Post a link to your monthly wrap-up post so I can hear about how your April went!

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly post that highlights books we are excited to read hosted by Jill from Breaking The Spine. Title: Take A Bow   Author:  Elizabeth Eulberg Synopsis: From the fantastic author of The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice comes a story of all the drama and comedy of four friends who grow into themselves at a performing arts high school. Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates.

Stacking the Shelves (9)

-
Image
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .  It's all about sharing books you've added to your shelves be it physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a  physical store, or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks. This week, I've added five books to my shelf! The first two books were given to me by a coworker after she saw how much I read during my lunch break!  Both are more outside of my typical realm of books, so I'm excited to give them a try!  The last three I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  The Home Front was released on January 26, 2021,  Playing with Fire was released on January 19, 2021 and The Woman with the Blue Star is set to be released in May 2021.
