April 2026 was a rough time for me in accomplishing my monthly goals. Here are all the blog posts I published and books I read.
April was a big struggle for me in accomplishing my monthly goals. The whole month was filled with doing a bunch of stuff and not sticking to a routine. Now, even while I think I struggled during April 2026 I can say I still got a lot done to help me reach my yearly goals. Sometimes you have a month where you didn’t accomplish every goal you set, and that’s perfectly fine.
In this post, I’ll share all the blog posts I published and the books I read in April 2026. Plus, I included my goals for May.

Goals for May
My blogging goals for May are to publish 8 blog posts, send a newsletter every Friday, and set up ads for the blog. I’m hoping to take it a little bit easier this month since we are at the end of the school year.
My reading goals for May are to read 13 books, with 5 being physical books, send 5 book reviews to NetGalley, read a book filled with short stories for my monthly reading challenge.

Some of my random goals for May are to enjoy the last few weeks of school, celebrate school ending, celebrate Cooper’s birthday, have a family fun day, finish my knitting project, and get ready for our trip to Virginia at the end of the month.
Final Thoughts
This month was a struggle, but just like a trampoline, I’ll bounce right back. I’m looking forward to getting back into a good routine in May and being comfortable with not accomplishing every goal. Now, how was your April? Did you accomplish the goals you set for yourself in April 2026? Let me know in the comments below. I love hearing from all of you.
