    What a great month! I just got notice that I Let You Go is coming in my subscription box this month, so I can take myself out of the long library queue. Yay! The Raven King has an interesting cover and is new to me. I'll have to check on that one.

    Looks like April was a great month for you! Of course, I've not read anything on your list. #fail One of these days I need to binge Maggie Stiefvater's series. I read the first book AGES ago, but like I do with more series than I care to admit, I never continued it.

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
