Welcome to my May 2023 Wrap Up! I managed to read 9 books in May: 5 books/ebooks and 4 audiobooks. Some of these books have already been reviewed and others have reviews posting a little closer to their publication dates. Others may have been read in previous months but I was holding these reviews to a little closer to their publication date. The rest of the stats reflect the book reviews I published this month.

My May reading this year has been rather disappointing. Just hit some duds — and ones I was really looking forward to as well! I’m happy to see that you’ve been more successful in your picks this month. Always in need of recommendations, especially after the last few disappointing reads!

I hope that your June reads will be more satisfying ER. It’s difficult when we experience several disappointments in one month.

I never set audiobook specific goals since I listen in the car and it also depends on my mood sometimes. Looks like you’re keeping up on all your goals though, so great job!
