May is one of my favorite months. I'm kind of biased because my birthday is on the 19th, but there are many other reasons: things are finally in bloom, summer is right around the corner, shorts and skirts and sundresses are acceptable again. Plenty to love!
Though I do love the month, I have noticed that there's something about this time of year that gets me all slumpy. It happened last year, too! I don't know what it is, but a lot of my fellow Bookstagrammers seem to be going through it, too. My Saturday shifts get shorter for the summer in June and I have a little beach getaway planned, so I feel like that might give me the time and fresh air I need to breathe a little more life into my reading.
Onto the wrap up!
Books Read in May
Made You Up - Francesca Zappia (Review)
The Evil We Love & Pale Kings and Princes (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy #5 & #6) - Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman

I think my favorite read of May was The Unexpected Everything. It was such a fun, summery read!

eBooks I Bought This Month

Challenge Updates
Goodreads Challenge: 43/100
Book Riot Read Harder Challenge: 7/26
Despite my slump, I am still 2 books ahead on my schedule. I'm hoping to stay ahead of the game by at least 1 book at all times. Fingers crossed. As for the Book Riot challenge, it's safe to say that I am getting to the harder challenges (things like non-fiction books about science or biographies) that aren't going to be my easiest accomplishments. I'm not gonna stress about it, though. I have a lot of ideas for most of the topics, it is just a matter of actually tackling them.
Here's to another great reading month!!
