April Books

So this is a bit late, but I wanted everything to be perfect for this cozy little post about the books I bought in the month of April. I want to share the books I purchase each month 1) for myself, so that I can visualize and think about what it is I get every month, and 2) give you (my potential readers) ideas about books to read, and of course hear from you what books you're investing in. Also, I'd love to hear from you if you've read any of these books!

For these posts, I wanted to add some information that I thought would be useful, and just fun (for me, at least). Firstly, I've decided that I will provide the store in which I bought the book, in order to see my own trends of where I buy books, and for you, my readers, if you'd like to know where to potentially get the same book. Secondly, I've decided to add the citation of the book. I quite like writing citations - it's the former English major in me - so I thought I'd add them. Let me know if you'd like any more information about the books I buy. 

And now, without further adieu, the books I bought in the month of April:
