My April 2025 Reading Wrap-up

I have unfortunately been dealing with my ADHD deciding to be the absolute worst for the last 20 days, but I am still trying to stay on track for my reading goals! How are your reading goals going?

#storygraph #bookwormsoflemon8 #lemon8challenge #lemon8bookclub #readingwrapup

2025/5/7 Edited to

In April 2025, I managed to read five books covering various genres that captivated my interest. Some highlight titles include 'Deep End' by Ali Hazelwood and 'The Inheritance Games' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, spanning an average of 326 pages each and taking about 15 days to finish. My personal goal was to tackle reading challenges while managing ADHD, underscoring the importance of engaging narratives that keep me focused. I hope to encourage fellow readers to join in upcoming discussions through community hashtags such as #storygraph, #bookwormsoflemon8, and #readingwrapup. Getting involved in book clubs can also be a motivating factor in achieving one’s reading targets. What were your favorite reads this month? Let’s connect and share thoughts on our literary adventures!

Four book covers: "The Sweetest Oblivion," "The Maddest Obsession," and "The Darkest Temptation" by Danielle Lori, and "Heartless Beloved" by Lola King, all with star ratings.

Five book covers from "The Hollow Boys" series by Monty Jay, including "The Lies We Steal," "The Truths We Burn," "The Blood We Crave," "The Blood We Crave Part Two," and "The Oath We Give," all with star ratings.

I think the Hollow Boys was worth the hype. I loved the whole series as a whole but book 2 & 5 😘 sooo good. I also started reading smutty monster romance this month. If you haven’t already you need to try reading The Monster Stalker Series By: January Rayne. #thehollowboysseries #monster
