Hello, beasties!

Another month has flown by this year!

How did your reading go this month?

While I had hoped to get through a few more books than I did, I still am happy with what I managed to read. I got through 7 books! Which doesn't seem like a lot, but I also had 3 DNFs, and I have 3 books I'm currently reading. For the most part, I was constantly reading something during the month! Which I find great, considering the last two months I wasn't actively reading for one reason or another.

And while the DNFs were a bit disappointing and I don't count them towards my total read books, I got through basically halfway through on two. So I still feel like I got a good amount read this month, even though they were DNFS.

This leads me to…

What did I read this month?

I finished the following books:

The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

PS: I Hate You by Lauren Connolly

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer

DNF:

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

Goodbye, Paris by Anstey Harris

Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano

I’m currently reading:

Not a Happy Family by Shari Lapena

Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other by Bethany Turner

The Kiss Curse by Erin Sterling

I feel like this year's UnreadBOTMay Reading Challenge was successful! It definitely helped me pick up some old BOTM picks that have been sitting on my shelves for what feels like forever, even if I ended up shelving a few as DNF.

Though if I'm honest, I'm excited to have a month without a reading challenge!

Until next time!
