Spring Reading Reflections +5-star Predictions

Hey, everyone! I love to reflect on reading and on life in general. I've seen a lot of bloggers and BookTubers do round-ups of their wrap-ups (Howling Libraries does some of my favorite ones) as well as seasonal wrap-ups (Books and Lala and Peruse Project do this). I am going to be a blend of this with reflecting on if I successfully completed my TBRs, showing what I did read, and adding 5-star predictions for what I want to get to to. Welcome to my Reading Reflections!

5-STAR PREDICTIONS FOR APRIL-JUNE
 I love 5-star prediction videos, but I have never done any. *gasp* I know, the shame. I figured this would be a fun place to incorporate this. I won't be predicting books I've started or am currently reading because that defeats the purpose of guessing.

I wanted to only choose ten books. It was hard because I have a long list of books I want to read this year, but I wanted to highlight these because I'm either most excited about them or I feel like I'm going to absolutely love them.

How has your TBR reading going? I think I'm going to stop adding so many books to mine. Let me know down below in the comments!

  1. Looks like you've had a lot of 4 and 5 stars so far! I hope your 5-star predictions turn out correct :-)

    1. Thanks so much, Kristen! I'm hoping so as well. 2019 has turned out to be a great reading year so far!

  2. I was gifted The 5 Love Languages book, but haven't had a chance to read it! It's short, so maybe I'll squeeze it in soon. I thought Sadie was an incredibly well-written book. It gave me chills. I started How to Make Friends with the Dark, but DNFd it pretty early on. It wasn't working for me. She and her mom were basically starving and desperately needed money, yet they both had cell phones. Food is more important than texting! It was small stuff like that I had trouble overlooking. I hope it works better for you!

    1. I hope you enjoy The 5 Love Languages! It's a very quick read. Yes! Sadie was amazing! I love hearing about other's love for it. Sorry to hear about How to Make Friends with the Dark. That's definitely a biggie in plot development. Hoping it can get that 5-stars!

  3. Wow, looks like a good reading year so far! I hope you're right about your 5-star predictions. I notice you've been reading A Darker Shade of Magic for a while now, are you not into it?

    1. Thanks, Inge! I'm hoping so, too! I just started reading it again. I'm into it so far. I was reading it on my Kindle, but I no longer us that for reading so that's why it's been on my CR shelf for so long!
