Favorite Read
I think my favorite read this month is Winter’s Fury, in part because I found it so surprising and delightful and I’m super excited to read the rest of the series now. In fact, I’ve already started Burning Sea!

Goals Accomplished
I didn’t have very firm goals going into April, but I think I accomplished a lot! I’ve been getting a whole lot more involvement on my blog and I’ve joined a new Bookstagram pod in hopes of improving my content and engagement there. I’m working a lot harder than I expected I would but I’m enjoying it!
Final Thoughts
April has been a pretty good month all things considered for Bees and Book! I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made with the content I’m posting and the schedule I’ve been keeping. I think I’m hitting a nice rhythm and getting into a habit which is excellent for maintaining this multifaceted hobby!
