I can't believe we're now at the end of April.

How did that happen?

Anyway, I don't know why but most the books I really liked this past month are quite short reads and if you can make something this good in such a short amount of pages, I think that's a good sign from an author.

Here are my favourite books for April! Let me know what your favourite books were in the replies, I love to hear what you've been reading too!

The Agathas by Liz Lawson and Kathleen Glasgow - I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and I'm so glad I did. A fantastic YA mystery that follows two girls as they try to figure how a girl was murdered who attended their school (and was friends with one of them!) it has incredible twists and turns with characters that you grow to care about and get mad at also a little bit. I loved reading this book and I hope you do too.

Galatea by Madeleine Miller - A short story from the writer of 'A Song Of Achilles' and 'Circe' I knew to expect great things, and what an incredible 32 pages this little book has. A twist on a greek myth, Galatea is a statue brought to life by an awful and these are the consequences of said man's actions. Made me furious, made me sad, made me think good for her, Galatea is a literary treat.

The Griffin Gate by Vashti Hardy - This book is about seventy pages along and a middle grade, but the adventure you go on in such a short amount of pages is incredible and I loved every minute of this book. The story of a young girl born into a family of rescuers, she gets caught up in her own when she trapped in a village where her family has been called for a rescue. A fantastic first book in a series, I can't wait to read more of these.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie - I'm getting closer to the end of the Poirot books by Christie, and this is definitely one of my favourites from the thirty or so books I've read by her so far. Poirot returns to a closed case of the murder of Artist Amyas Crale who was supposedly killed by his wife Caroline, however she sends a letter to her daughter saying she didn't do it, is she lying or is she telling the truth? Honestly I felt absolutely deceived at the end of this book and I bloody loved it.

The Bear In The Stars by Alexis Snell - A picture book that is beautifully illustrated throughout, this story is a parable about the tragedies of climate change, but also a really bittersweet tale about a bear slowly losing his home and trying to find a new one. I was in tears over this book and it's for children, and I don't know what that says about my brain chemistry, but it is a beautiful book (and I also technically read this March but I didn't anticipate hoow good this book would be, smh).

Have you read any of these? Do you want to read any of these? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I hope your May is gonna be a good one.

Vee xo.

How about the reverse blorbo, where you love a character dearly, but they screw you over in a fight and you have to start all over again?

This is a callout post for Belial,he charmed my entire team and left us utterly helpless

I will not forgive

ohh yeah that happens with Belial so many times.

Everytime i use his summon it's like "ehehe take THAT enemy, how does THAT feel" i get so smug when Belial suddenly attacks with plain damage or something like that, like, i'm a God.

and then he suddenly charms my full party at once and now i cant attack anymore and OBVIOUSLY it's right when the enemy is about to send its most horrible and painful attacks.

And then it's like wOW i can't BELIEVE you'd betray me like this!!!!!! i mean, i can, but how dARE YOU.

also there was a time i used to instinctively summon him as soon as i could in every single element.... forgetting i had Sandalphon in the backline of my Earth team (bc turns out that if Sandalphon is the last one standing he ends up standing for at least a few hundred turns on his own. Tested and approved (kill me)). And Earth Sandalphon doesn't heal. And Belial still zero on Sandalphon and leaves him with 1% of his HP.

Everytime it's like WOW and then yeah, i damn him for the consequences of my own actions.

Others characters who were reverse-blorbo'ed from screwing me over by accident (which also mostly is my fault) was Lucio, from using him a lot in raids like Celeste, which has the zombie effect, and me, like an idiot, that gave Lucio his EMP of "auto-heal the whole party upon using charge attack" like absolute buffoon we're DYING HERE because of the consequences of my own actions????

ironical how it means Belial and Lucio are soooo similar in their way of screwing me over. That is not my fault. whatsoever. only theirs. smh!!!

#at least now with Belial he must be flawless to use in a wind party with grand ewiyar #since she grants you 'charms doesn't freeze you anymore but it makes you stronger'#get fucked Belial your sexiness is temporary but floofing the cat is eternal #almost said a horrible thing that would have censoring this whole ask but anyway!#ichareply #anonymous #ichafantalks gbf
