Jenn-
This has been a very interesting month for me. I didn't get as much reading done but there was excitement in my month... from above in Ash's monthly recap you see.... SHE IS WITH BABY!!!! YAY!!!! We are so wanting more little pitter patter feet around the house. 

Other noteworthy highlights include: 

Finn lost a tooth, my birthday, hubby's birthday, my son moved back home for a little while, finally saw Captain Marvel, played lots of new games, had some Easter fun with friends and family, discovered a new pizza place that was yum, started the show Umbrella Academy and I'm loving it. I think that is all for me. It was an exciting month but also a stressful and busy month.

    That's some month you both had ... I love how Ash just casually slipped in 'I found out I'm pregnant' in between 'I got a new piercing' and ' I didn't take any bookstagram pics in April'.

    Loving some of those covers, I really must get around to reading some graphic novels.

    Ash- Congrats! That's wonderful news. Babies are so sweet when they're tiny. That's quite a lot of books to win.

    Jenn- I haven't seen Captain Marvel just yet but I plan to at some point.

    Wow you guys have lots going on! Happy birthday to all the birthday people haha and congrats on the pregnancy!

    You guys read a ton of books too! Nice to see Wayward on there- I don't see that one around much. I did read the first Lumberjanes. The Goodbye Summer looks good (maybe it's the ice cream). :) And nachos- that pic is making me hungry.

    Glad Wolfhunter River was good!
