You certainly read a lot of books in May. I’ve only read Haven Point from your list, it was a good one. I’m looking forward to your reviews of the books you haven’t posted yet.

Oh first of, this is the first time I am visiting your website in a long time since I took a break from blogging and it’s the first time I am seeing the new glow up. I must say that your website looks fab. You’ve got a beautiful theme right there. I’m glad you moved to WordPress. You read so much books this month. 10 books is a lot! Also, it looks like you had a good reading month. Congrats x

It sounds like you had a great month with so many high ratings!! I always love how you manage to mix up your genres. I always fall into the habit of enjoying something, then reading nothing but that one genre for months until I get bored and move on.
thathappyreader
Thanks Sophie! I try and mix it up, but there are some genres I definitely read more than others.
Sadie
We obviously read in different genres (I’m a fantasy, urban fantasy girl), but I love seeing people’s monthly wrap-ups and what they’ve been reading. So much fun.
thathappyreader
I agree Sadie! Thanks for stopping by!
Alexis
It seems like you had a great reading month! I’m glad you feel so inspired this month. My library near me finally opened back up this week, so I’m eager to start reading again. Good luck and have fun for the month of June!
