April TBR | Autism Awareness Month & My Birthday!!

April is the best month of all because it’s my birthday and it’s right in the middle of the month so I always try to get away with not doing things “because it’s my birthday”. I’ve had a few people ask me about buying me gifts for my birthday – if you would like to buy me anything then you can check out my amazon wishlist! My birthday is April 15th 🙂 That’s right – I am the most irritating combination of a Gryffindor AND being an Aries.

April is also awesome because its Autism Awareness Month! Sadly, I don’t usually see as many people talking about Autism Awareness Month as they do about other awareness months so I want to try to do some Autism themed posts to celebrate the month!

April TBR

Don’t talk to me about the state of my TBR this month because it’s such a mess :’) I already had a collection of books left over from last month that I really want to finish reading soon because they’ve been sat on my bookshelves feeling neglected for at least 4 months. I’m also trying to work through my e-ARCs slowly so that I can actually start requesting newer books without feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt. Obviously because it’s my birthday I have SURPRISINGLY asked for more books (I know right, how unexpected) so I want to allow myself the space to actually reading them when I receive them… I have a horrible habit of feeling like I’m not *allowed* to read them straight away and so never end up getting round to reading them so this year I am implementing a new strategy called READ ALL THE BIRTHDAY BOOKS. As it’s my birthday month, I had also instated a library ban on myself but as you can see that didn’t go to well… I blame Obsidio and Children of Blood and Bone screaming at me from the shelves. I am weak and the library is strong.

What does your April TBR list look like?
Are there any new releases that you just can’t wait to get your hands on?
Are you being drowned in a sea of ARCs or are you beating the backlist?
