This Month in Books: April 2017 #Bookreviews #MonthlyRoundup

By Lipsy @lipsyy

April was good. A group of friends and I rented a cottage in Yorkshire for a weekend which was lovely. Easter was fun. I spent it eating a lot and watching classic films with friends. Perfect. I also started to get my mojo back in the reading and blogging sense – a huge relief after a couple of bad months!
