A Slow-Going Reading Month | October Wrap Up

Nov 3, 2024

Okay so I know it’s nearly the end of June, but I still have a little time to do my May wrap-up. It was a pretty okay reading month in May, not fantastic but I still managed to read a few books. I ended up reading 11 books in May. While I read some books from authors that I’ve read and loved before, I also read quite a few new to me authors, which I kind of love. It was a great month for discovery.

So let’s get right into it. Here are all the books that I read in May. And as always these are in no real order.

And there we go, those are all the books that I read in May this year. As you can see it was mostly contemporary romances. But I kinda loved it because it gave me a break from all the fantasy I was reading. I read some real standouts this month including everything from Catherine Cowels and All I Need by E. Salvador.
