This month has been so stressful, the last two weeks has been so ugh and books have been an escape (and if you're disabled and live in the UK, we are treated terribly in a system that makes you seem like a bad person for being unable to do things, things you probably would want to do and it sucks). My anxiety has been out of control so finding places to go in books has been a rescue this month.

This month I've read 38 books that cover novels, poetry, manga and novellas finally that really have given me new places for my mind to wander and ways to keep me up that aren't 'oh my god what if the government hates me?' - Enjoy the reviews.

Blue Exorcist Vol. 9 & 11 by Kazue Kato - A manga i've been trying to keep up with so much more recently, Blue Exorcist tells the story of Rin who finds out he is the son of Satan when his father figure gets murdered by his father, leading him to New Cross Academy, a school for exorcists. Volume 9 is the end of the first ARC and I feel 11 is the beginning of the next one as we see Rin have growth in his powers and then really becoming part of a team. Konekamaru is one of my favourite characters and has so much growth in 11, and I just really loved reading this, this month. I highly recommend it.

Orange & Pink Sunset by Ivy L James - You can find a review of this book on my blog, so I won't dwell on writing too much on this however I really enjoyed this collection. There's a real sensuality and a deep feeling to this collection that makes for lovely reading and I want to read from this author. Highly recommend looking it up and taking in some of James' work.

The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 2 by Natsu Hyuuga & Nekukurage - Another fantastic manga series (but also manwha) The Apothecary Diaries follows Maomao as she becomes part of the King's Court with her impressive ability to make medicines and aphrodisiacs. It's a hyped series and for a reason with fantastic characters, fast plots and an art style that I wish I could emulate (I wish I could draw so bad, and yes I know practice). I am currently waiting for number three to be available at my library and I can't wait to continue with this series.

As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh- A beautiful story about the decisions we make in horrific situations, this book tells the story of Salama as she figures out her life, love and health in war-torn Syria. If you want to be emotionally devastated, this is the book for you, incredibly written with turns that leave you breathless and ending that leaves you dropping back on your bed emotionally spent, I'm slightly concerned for all the friends who made me read this book to be honest.

Enter Ghost by Isabel Hammad - Set in Palestine as we follow Sonia as she returns to her family after a painful romantic dalliance, Enter Ghost sees her find herself again thanks to a performance of Shakespeare. Beautifull written and crafted from beginning to end, Enter Ghost gives you a new perspective on how we react to the world we live and what it means to be under regimes where one life holds more value than others by power of passport. A timely novel that I'd recommend to everyone right now.

What have you been reading this month? I always loved to hear what you're reading.

I hope you had an enchanting April and your May is wonderful!

Vee xo.
