May 2020 Wrap Up

Here is my May wrap up. I didn't read anything in the beginning of May, but the last (two) weeks I did read 2 books and 2 manga volumes. I'm quite happy with what I read after all. I do hope to read more in June.

1. Heidi by Johanna Spyri

I recently got Heidi and A Little Princess to complete my Puffin in Bloom collection. I love these designs. I didn't know anything about these two books, but I'm happy I read Heidi. I gave it three stars. I probably would have loved this more when I was younger. I hope to read A Little Princess or a Secret Garden soon as well. Which one should I read first?

2. Men Without Women: Stories by Haruki Murakami

My first Murakami book! I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. I really want to read more books by Murakami soon. Do you have any recommendations?
I gave Men Without Women five stars.

3. Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 2 (Fullmetal Alchemist, #2) by Hiromu Arakawa

I'm borrowing the boxset from my friend's brother, I read the first volume last year and wasn't too impressed but I feel bad that I didn't read more, so I'm going to try to read them all soon!

4. Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 3 (Fullmetal Alchemist, #3) by Hiromu Arakawa

This still isn't my favourite manga series but the characters are starting to grow on me. I'm enjoying it more.

May Wrap Up

My new job has been exhausting and on top of that I'm also in a reading slump. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I didn't read much last month. The books I did read, I read in the beginning of the month.

1. Brooklynaire (Brooklyn Bruisers #4) by Sarina Bowen 

The first thing I read this month was a fun romance novel. I gave it 3 stars. I haven't read anything else by this author.

2. The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli 

After reading Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I couldn't wait to read other books by Becky Albertalli, sadly, I didn't enjoy this one as much. I didn't think the characters and storyline were interesting enough and I was often bored. I gave it 3 stars.

Sunday Post #16

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted here @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer (image above belongs to @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ). It’s a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 

Life

I have been so busy this week, I came home exhausted every day. It's safe to say I did not read anything this week. Two hours ago, I started reading You by Caroline Kepnes, just to switch things up. I only read 28 pages but I hope to cure my reading slump soon!

Blog

Not much time to blog this week, I'm glad I was able to post a Sunday Post at all.

TV and Film

I did watch a lot of TV this week, I finished The Alienist, I watched a couple of Scandal episodes, and I rewatched most of the first season of Jane the Virgin. I'm also continuing Timeless, although to me it feels that the show is missing something.

What did you read or watch recently?

May TBR

Not sure how much time I'll have to read in May but I hope to read more books than I did in the previous month! These are the books I hope to get to in May!

1. The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

I loved Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and want to read more books by this amazing author!

2. A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3.1) by Sarah J. Maas 

I don't think I need to explain this one.

3. LIFEL1K3 (Lifelike #1) by Jay Kristoff

My pre-orders never come on time, but I still hope to get to this one this month!

4. Sheets by Brenna Thummler

I got an e-arc from Netgalley and I can't wait to read another Brenna Thummler graphic novel!


I am going to read more books than this but I always have trouble sticking to my TBR, so I will just read whatever I'm in the mood for as well.

May Wrap Up

May has been an incredibly busy month. A lot of deadlines and exam preparations plus a throat infection, left me with less time to read than I would have liked. In total, I finished five books and dnf'ed one. This was definitely the month of Maas for me!

1. A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas 

I gave this book 4 stars. You can find my review here.

2. Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas

I finally decided to read the Throne of Glass series! I was slightly disappointed, though and I gave this book 3 stars. 

3. Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas 

I thought this was slightly better, but overall I expected more from the series. My friend convinced me to read on, saying it gets better with every book. So that's exactly what I did. 3 stars.

4. Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas 

I did enjoy this more than the other books, so far. I really liked the new characters Manon, Abraxos, the healer whose name I can't recall right now and Rowan! Really want to read more about them! 4 stars.

5. Geekerella by Ashley Poston 

This was my favourite book of the month! 5 stars! Review here.

May TBR

These are the books I hope to read in May. May is going to be a very busy month, so my TBR is going to be small.

1. A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3) by Sarah J. Maas

I'm currently reading this one, I'm hoping to post a review next week. I will mention that I enjoyed the second book a lot more than this one. 

2. Flame in the Mist (Flame in the Mist #1) by Renee Ahdieh 

I really enjoyed Renee Ahdieh's previous duology and I can't wait to read her next one!

3. Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders #1) by Robin Hobb 

I started this during the Tome Topple Readathon but only got 106 pages read. I do definitely want to continue this trilogy.

4. Red Rising (Red Rising, #1) by Pierce Brown

I'm borrowing this book from a friend of mine and I've read a couple of pages but I'm not that into it yet. I hope it gets better soon!

May Wrap Up

I read four books and one comic in May and most of them were awesome! Without further ado, here is what I read in May:

1. Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen

I absolutely loved this book! It took me around 100 to 150 pages to really get into it, but after that, I couldn't stop reading! An amazing and original ya fantasy novel I highly recommend! 5 out of 5 stars!

2. I Hate Fairyland, Vol. 1: Madly Ever After by Skottie Young

The comic I read this month so much fun! I will review it later this month after my exams are over. 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend this comic if you are looking for something fun with great artwork!

3. Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld

This is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice and of course I needed to read it! I'm going to write a review on this one soon, I really liked some parts of the novels but I had problems with other parts. And as always, I needed more Darcy! 3 out of 5 stars! If you like Pride and Prejudice retellings, you should definitely give this one a try!

4. Love, Lies and Spies by Cindy Anstey 

I enjoyed it but this is an entirely forgettable book. It wasn't bad, however, it wasn't remarkable in any way either. 3 out of 5 stars. I'll probably write a review of this one as well.

5. A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas

This was the third book I started to read in May and it was fantastic, however, with some books I really love, I don't want them to end. I was so afraid something horrible was going to happen which is why I picked up two other books before finishing the last 80 pages of A Court of Mist and Fury. I love this book so much! This is definitely the best book I read this year! I can't wait to read the third book in the series! I can't praise this book enough! So good! The biggest 5 out of 5 stars ever!
