For the month of April the #CBBxManiMonday group is doing pastel nails - I always struggle a little with this month as I typically love bright and bold nails and I'm ready for our May theme which is always my favourite since it involves flowers, so I'm combining the two themes together! 

Five on Sunday - April 28, 2024 ~ Greek Mythology Retellings, Elliott Turned 7, Monster Mini Golf, Apple Creek Arcade and Strawberry Cupcakes

I'm not someone who plans what they are reading each month, but I do love a theme and I've picked up a few books that are Greek Mythology retellings that I need to read soon, so I thought I'd share them with you! 

• Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald ~ I think this is more of a romantasy around Hades and Persephone - it's actually not something I've read any retellings of so I'm excited - I picked up a gorgeous copy from Waterstones too! 
• Lore by Alexandra Bracken ~ This is a past Owlcrate book and it's not quite a retelling, but instead a twist with 9 greek gods forced to walk the Earth as mortals every 7 years as punishment and are hunted during that time! 
• Threads That Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou ~ This is another Owlcrate book and it's based on the Greek Fates and their descendants - each can control people's threads! 
• Atalanta by Jennifer Saint ~ This is a retelling of Atalanta, the only woman in the band of heroes, The Argonauts!  

What's your favourite retelling?!

For the month of April the #CBBxManiMonday group is doing pastel nails - I always struggle a little with this month as I typically love bright and bold nails, but when I saw this shimmery purple I knew it would pair perfectly with a pastel pink so I looove how these turned out!

I just got this brand new gorgeous Vintage Quarterbound Classic Edition of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - it's gorgeous! As this is my very favourite book, I'm so glad it's being referred to a classic - it's such a stunning edition. It is only available in the UK right now, but Blackwell's offers free shipping to Canada in their prices!

For the month of April, the #CBBxManiMonday group we always do Pastel and Easter nails - I've been loving the pastel polishes this moth, so that's typically what I'm sticking with.
