So, just a couple brief notes!
I have four books currently scheduled for May, but as I'm sure lots of you know, many books are getting postponed, and I'm currently struggling with adjusting my schedule around that. So, to make sure that I don't have any blank weeks, I've decided to add a couple back-up books from my TBR pile. No guarantee I'll read them, but since it's a slim month for reviews anyway, there's a good chance at least one will get reviewed!
