May Wrap Up
Everything I read this month.
Last month, I said that things were chaotic and that the month flew by in 5 seconds. Unfortunately, things feel the same this month. As evidenced by the fact that I read just 2 more book this month than last month. I know reading 12 books in a month is a lot to most people, but I typically average double that. At least I’m moving in the right direction to get back on track.
This May I read 12 books, with an average rating of 3. It took 4 days on average for me to finish a book. I did get back to reading some longer books (over 500 pages), and stuck with fiction only this month.
Here’s what I read this month, my ratings, and why I picked it up in the first place.
