May Wrap Up & June TBR


I'm soooo happy to be in June. I love my hot sunny weather. We don't really get a spring here. It usually goes from coats to no coats. May was a pretty busy month and seemed to go by fast. I was packing and just purging all my crap. I was training for a 5K(which I ran on Saturday, pictures are on yesterdays SS). And there was just life. But for feeling like I was pretty busy I sure read a hell of a lot of books. 26 books to be exact. :O *pats on back* A few were buddy reads with Samantha and one with Juhina(it was supposed to be two but I could not get into The Eternity Cure and had to put it down). I was also in a big re-reading mood(still am actually). My ratings overall were pretty good. So a very good reading month. Let's get into it.

The Storybook of Legends(Ever After High #1) by Shannon Hale 4*
Pure(Covenant #2) by Jennifer L Armentrout 4*

Tempting the Best Man(Gamble Brothers #1) by J.Lynn 3*
Silver Bay by Jojo Moyes 4*
Saga Volume 1 by Brian K Vaughan 5*
Saga Volume 2 by Brian K Vaughan 5*
Broken Hearts, Fences and Other Things to Mend(Broken Hearts & Revenge #1) by Katie Finn DNF @ 30%
Just One Night(Just One Day #2.5) by Gayle Forman 4*
So a lot of 4*. Which is great. Like I mentioned a lot of re-reads and also did some graphic novel reading. As for my favourite of the month would have to be some of my re-reads. But as for new reads would definitely be all 3 volumes of Saga. They are amazing! And Breakable was fantastic. It made me so happy to have Lucas's/Landon's POV. I love him.

For my June TBR I was thinking that I should make it the month of finishing series off. I have quite a few where I just need to read the last book. So annoying. :P I know I won't get to them all. But I'll make it a goal anyhow. I'm doing more buddy reads with Samantha. Ruin and Rising is finally almost here(which falls into finishing off all the series month)! Of course there's always review books I need to get too. I suck at getting to review copies. Anyhow, here's the planned ones including all the series books to finish off and the buddy reads.

How was your May? What are you most excited to read in June?

Happy reading!

  3. WOW! Congrats, that is a HUGE amount of books. I only read 9 this month and felt pretty crappy about it. I haven't even completed one for May yet. You read a lot of great books that I am hoping to read myself - The One being pretty high up on my TBR list right now.
