Yup, fell off the edge of the planet again...life, work, kids, house...the usual culprits. But here is my May Book List - No banned books this month, though I've seen "The Magicians" on a couple random lists. My personal favorite this month was "Illuminae". SO GOOD!!!!

April is done, on to May! Tried to pull in a banned book...will continue to do that each month, I think. I just got a load of them, second-hand. The Scholomance series is now a personal favorite! A female MC who expects you to dislike her, and yet you don't. So good I had to read the first two!

Took my team of EAs to a local indie bookstore today to show how much I appreciate them, then to lunch. Only bought one book, growth or a shame? Hard to tell. Here are a few I didn’t buy but I’m adding to my list!!

March book review time!
All were quite good. Favorite was "Yellowface" by R.F. Kuang. It had me hating the MC, then commiserating with her, then siding with her, then hating her again. Made me question myself as an ally. And then my response to the MC made me question myself again!

Oooooh! Storygraph gave me this great new chart to see my monthly progress! I love it!

Celebrated a child’s basketball win with a trip to the bookstore. We each got 3. She begged for more. “But I’ll never have enough time to read all of them!” Same child….same.

Books arrived! Used nonfiction thanks to World of Books! So excited to add them to my collection and TBR list! Any look good to you? Which should I read first?

February was a heavy fiction month for me. Mostly because the nonfiction I've been reading were SO LONG that I'm still reading them...may finish this week, cross your fingers. But holy cow was February good! I highly recommend almost all the books I read. My only caveat is "Neon Gods" is a bit 🌶️🌶️🌶️

School Vacation and we are at the library! I came prepared and already have my bag filled with my new foster books. The kids are searching for theirs. This is my kind of day off!!

Did someone say “buy physical copies of banned books”? No, yes? Is this a good start?

OMG! Finished the 2nd in Tracey Deon's trilogy and it did NOT disappoint! WOW. That ending! I highly recommend. The audiobook was amazing, the narrator is fantastic. SO GOOD.

So many amazing book recs this week. I updated my Amazon book list (for tracking...I'll get as many possible through the library and local indie stores). Keep them coming!
