May Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted June 3, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers. Once again another month has gone by. You would think in lockdown it would go slowly but if I’m honest it’s gone really fast. I think it’s getting into a routine that really helps, the world has suddenly become a weird sort of normal, wouldn’t you agree. But I have to say I am very excited at the prospect of my local Costa or Pret opening for takeaway this week, I have to say. I know, lockdown priorities.

Once again, this month I hosted a readathon with Steph for Bookslovereaders and read 3 books during it which I super pleased with and we hope to do another one this month too. Of the books I read this month, a lot were from my TBR books as well. I feel mighty proud of that, that’s for sure as they have been on there for over a year. Yay! I did get blocked from Instagram for week, but you know what it really helped. This lockdown seems to be doing me the world of good in terms of reading. Will I read 6 books when I’m working, I’m going to make sure I do, social media less, reading more.

June is Pride Month, and I’m looking forward to reading some LGBTQ+ books, including Hideous Beauty, CAMP and Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I also want to continue reading books from the bottom of my TBR as well including the rest of Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. I do love the start of new month, with looking forward to more books to read. So enough of me rambling, here is my wrap-up for May!

MY MAY READINGS 📖

Another great month of reading. With the help of the Bookedin-athon I hosted in the middle of the month, I read some cracking books. 6 books! I hit a bit of a burn out the last week, I think Read with Pride sent me into a book hangover. But I’m finally reading Aurora Rising.
