Hello Kittens! I’m going to bring you something a little different today. Normally this blog is just reviews, but I actually read more books than I end up reviewing and I wanted to show you a little bit of that side of things. Plus, I’m a data nerd so I thought some of you might enjoy the stats as well.
Without further ado, here’s what I read in May (with my reviews linked):
–The Other People by C. J. Tudor
-Lemon Meringue Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen # 4) by Joanne Fluke
–The Fallen Girls by Kathryn Casey
-Witch Way to Murder by Shirley Damsgaard
–Rewind by Catherine Ryan Howard
–Fate of the Fallen by Kel Kade
–The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe
-Giant Days, Vol. 2 by John Allison
–Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay
-And I Do Not Forgive You by Amber Sparks
-Bunny by Mona Awad
-Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff (Illuminae Files #1)
That was a total of 13 books for May.

Not too bad of a month, all things considered. My reading has really kept me sane during the long weeks of quarantine. I DNF’ed (did not finish) 1 book this month that is not listed above. It’s always hard to quit a book, but it was wordy and complex in the first 20 pages and I just didn’t have the brainpower to commit to it right now.
