I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy seeing everyone's version of these features! All book covers are linked to Goodreads, if you want to check them out. If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back!
I can't really remember the last time I've done one of these round ups! So I think this post will be a summary of all of April.
April was full of excitement as my daughter had to make a major life decision: Where to go to college!
So the first week (our spring break) we took a week-long trek to the U.S. East Coast, to look at schools she had been accepted to in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. We've never been to the East Coast, so this was really fun. We saw a Broadway show, To Kill A Mockingbird, ate New York Pizza, and walked around Times Square! After being tourists, it was time for business, so we set off on several college tours.
The final decision is that my daughter is choosing The Rhode Island School of Design!
She is very happy that she was accepted, and seeing the school in person sealed the deal. It will be a very warm and nurturing environment for our artist kid.
My favorite book that I read this week, by far, was Love From A to Z by S.K. Ali.
This book was so romantic, and lovely, I hope it is wildly successful. I will post a review soon.
