What I Read This May

May was not the most productive reading month for me. I read some great books over the first half then struggled through the beginnings of my classic romance title, Rebecca. I did get through four enjoyable books though, they were:

Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Abertalli ★★★★

A book published this year: I picked this up while wandering through the library and it was an easy and enjoyable read.

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven ★★★★

A book that made you cry: *sob*

Paddle Your Own Canoe by Nick Offerman ★★★★

A non-fiction book:  A good effort from Nick Offerman. It featured some hilarious tales from his life throughout. I would have loved more about Parks and Recreation though.

Wonder by R.J. Palacio ★★★★★

A book with a one word title: Such a beautiful book. I waited about five months to get it from the library and it was totally worth it. I laughed, I cried, I would recommend it to anyone. 

I purchased a couple of books this month which is totally bad, especially with attempting to pack for a move and all that. I bought All the Light we Cannot See and Jasper Jones (but that was for a book club thing – although I didn’t read it.. yet) and my friend bought me Rebecca because I was talking about maybe using it for my classic romance prompt. So far my June has been very slow, but I have been doing so much reading professionally I have struggled to read for pleasure and also reading a novel outside my preferred genre when mentally exhausted.
