Book Haul – April 2018

The Top 5 Wednesday prompt came a little late this week and I didn't feel sufficiently prepared, so I'm just going to do a post on my April book haul! April was a mix of buys, giveaway wins, and ARCs. I'm moderately proud of myself for listening to my wallet for once and only buying …
