April 2017 Book Haul, Wrap-Up and May TBR!

Hello, Bookish Friends!!!

I'm very excited to get back into book-blogging, and what better way to start off than with a huge book haul :) 

These are all the books I've accumulated through April...

as you can see, I did splurge quite a bit on myself, lol! It's what I do to try to relieve myself from stress/anxiety - I go on Amazon and Book Outlet and fill my cart up to hundreds of dollars and then slowly delete the most expensive books until I get to under $20 and then I "treat myself", lol! Please tell me I'm not alone in this!

I am participating in Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews :)
