Hello, lovelies! April has come to an end, so I have another month of reading to wrap up for you. This month I want to try something a little different.

Blogging Highlights
This is one of the new things I want to try this month. Each month I’d light to highlight some of the content I’ve posted that I’m excited about or pleased with. So, I will be doing that here. Since this is new, I’m going to highlight posts from January until now, but in the future, I’d like to just highlight some of my favorite posts and reviews from the month I’m wrapping up.

Have a good may xx
Thank you! Have a good May! It’s a new thing for me in my wrap ups, but these are the only wrap up posts I do. I think I’ll stick with it because I love promoting other bloggers.
Yes!! I used to include some too- until I couldn’t because I stopped bloghopping as much 😅 slowly getting it back up & running!
Most of these are posts I’ve saved on Twitter to read at a later time. I follow most of the bloggers I really like on more than one platform so I’m more likely to see their content.
Yes ! I’m just more on facebook than twitter rofl- i used to save them in bloglovin’ for that purpose.. then kinda stopped using it
Ohhh. I do that with my wordpress feed. I don’t do it as often, but I like to save posts I want to read later.
OMG!! It makes me SO happy you like the book bloggers list project, honey! Thank you very much for mentioning it in your post, it means a lot ❤️❤️ & The Infinity Courts is in my TBR, super excited to read it, it sounds great 😍👏🏻✨
I can’t imagine how much work it took to put together, and I’m so appreciative to be on it! I highly, highly recommend The Infinty Courts. It’s going to make my 2021 favorites list, I think.
