This was a great month for reading! I read so many books that I really loved, and so I flew through them extremely quickly. I'm very excited to have so many good books to talk about this month - here's everything that I read in May.
Another month where I got a lot of reading done! I'm getting near to the end of my list of books I've been wanting to read, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions that you have! I get the absolute best book recommendations from social media so I have faith that you will not let me down!
Okay - this was the month that I went ALL IN on Sarah J. Maas books. I saw Becca post on Instagram about the second book in the Crescent City books, and basically I started reading it and never looked back. But I did manage to read a few other books this month, too.
I'm sharing this month's reading a little early because I have another post planned for the end of the month. This was, yet again, not my best month for reading. But honestly, I was in a rut a lot of the month - not just reading wise, but life wise! So I'm going to choose to focus on the books that I did read rather than the (many) times that I put on the TV instead. It happens!
I have (still) been in a reading slump. I read one book that was so incredible that it kind of feels like nothing else I've picked up has really been able to compare! I'm trying to get back into it but honestly, I'm just in a slump overall right now, so I'm not feeling bad about it. All it will take for me is one book that is so riveting that I can't put it down - I just have to find the right book!
Since I'm still sloooowly transitioning into this new year, I thought it'd be a good time to share my favorite books that I read over the past year. I don't keep a close count on how many I read, but I think that it was between 70 and 80, so there are lots to choose from! I'm not narrowing this down to any specific number - just sharing the books that I really loved (not in any particular order).
My reading always dips this time of year... I get sucked into watching TV and movies and lean into just relaxing and tuning out. I do hope to make it through a few books while I'm off, though! I have some new books that I'm really looking forward to getting into. As always - leave me your recommendations in the comments!
I feel like this month was split for me, reading-wise... about half the books that I read were fine, but not great, and then I read a stretch of them that I really, really loved. I didn't end up having a ton of time to read, but I'm hoping it picks up a bit more in December. Here's what I read over the last month.
This week was kind of rough for me. I started the week already feeling exhausted, and the weather definitely did not help bring up my energy levels at all! I actually have a fun weekend planned, though - my first show back through the Cultural Trust! I feel safe about going because they're requiring either vaccinations / negative tests PLUS masks, but it's still going to be strange to be around that many people! I'm so excited to see a live show again, though. It has been SO long.
Again, this was not my best reading month. I got sucked into a rewatch of The X-Files and couldn't stop watching episodes long enough to really do a lot of reading. I also started a few different books and had to pause them because I just couldn't get into them. Right now, my brain is struggling to deal with deep stories - I just don't have a great focus or attention span right now (hence the TV binges). I'm sure it'll come back eventually, but for now, I'm just reading what I enjoy!
