May!
May was a much better month for me! Medical issues aside, I'm finally feeling myself being pulled towards books again! I've been in an off and on reading slump for months now. Every book I've been reading for the past few months was me, to some extent, pushing through it. I hope this continues on in the weeks to come!
Books I Read & Listened To In May
- Wolves And Roses By Christina Bauer - This was an unpleasant journey for many many reasons. Though it was a very interesting concept, this book is a whole other bag of worms.
- One Grave At A Time By Jeaniene Frost - This was such an awesome book and it was also a re-read from quite a few years ago. This stood the test of time so well!
- Moon Kissed By Jennifer Snyder - Had I bothered to read a few reviews of this book before I got it things would have ended better. I had high hopes for this one too :/
- Fighting For Everything By Laura Kaye - This novel had such an interesting start, but the characters ended up becoming an annoying mess.
- Among The Echoes By Aly Martinez - This was a backlog book I've been meaning to read for years now and finally got to it because I figured out it had an audio book version. This was a great read!

I hope you have a really great reading month in June. I spend a lot of time in the summer reading in the pool, so I feel like I'll get a lot read. *fingers crossed* they are good ones! I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

Fingers crossed for both of us to have a stellar reading month in June! Reading by the pool sounds so relaxing :)
DeleteGlad you are getting out of your slump funk. Yeah! I have only read the Hard Ink books by Kaye, and like the series. Sorry the book you read was a mess. =/
ReplyDeleteSo am I! Reading slumps are so annoying! I'm hoping the Laura Kaye book was a once in a series fluke. I'm still planning to pick up the next book in the series and see how I feel about it from there. The writing style was good and even though the pacing was slow it's something I can deal with if I like the characters enough :)
