April, where have you gone? You've gone too fast for me. It is that time again everyone of where I share my monthly favorites for you all! Hope you enjoy reading it!
Favorite Music:
Cinderella by Remi Wolf- this song is so fun and funky- loved it this month- https://youtu.be/_3pEI2k7BZ0?si=YLEitqAkhjHCy48o
Got it Bad by Daisy Grenade- have to control myself around this song but it's so good- https://youtu.be/znu-SZRFAxY?si=Yi9a5OASPwAoCQeL
All of my Untalented Friends (ooo la la) by Games We Play (they are a newer band to me that are the same label as Fall Out Boy- Fueled by Ramen- one cool tune that I discovered this month)- https://youtu.be/Dgi-ht_X_YE?si=uxGI6ZMRyz4KVqRT
Beautiful People (Stay High) by the Black Keys (another good tune this month)- https://youtu.be/EE18ye8YjuY?si=ZyoqC70ez5hUERDA
Favorite Book(s) I've Read: Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez (my April 2024 BOTM pick)- https://www.amazon.com/Just-Summer-Abby-Jimenez/dp/1538767449/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rpFTQj7CI_qfDup_AoXtTh_YI8T5O_CXh2b-z0BrTabl1CpQqwncSIPELpjbbsrnYSLZTOMzs-yiO7IKysBdIQXkVg8b0ZMFb6HV7O_5Cpb3k7-UiOzrM9n1XMcXlIyBfGfx6ddMSNmdMwZcSs1EWqh3-RyF3pIp_y9h774w1nbDzJzKHTIIzXCVVyz7t2WNqysofH9rUOMl267O1EDSjRlev_tAPp2WNzJ4ixvAzKs.G_mXoOQRxu-5sMBc1b1I0rTWHnGcV5n_xAvOdUSTOLQ&qid=1714418124&sr=8-1; this was such a good book- tugged me at the heartstrings with all of the romance stuff, touched on mental health subjects in a good manner (the author was very nice enough to include a small piece of info prior to reading for those that may get easily triggered by things in the books in regards to their mental health), and it was a bit hard to put down at times (because it was so good!). I do sometimes get easily triggered when I read certain types of books so the author throwing that small piece of info in was appreciative- I wish more authors did this with books.
