May Wrap Up & June TBR


I have officially surpassed all my previous reading years and have read more books in five months than I've ever been able to accomplish in a year. (My previous record was 44 books/year.) This is absolute madness and I'm loving it.

NOTABLE POSTS

JUNE TBR
FROM THE LIBRARY:
Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #3) by Laini Taylor [yes, finally]

FROM MY BOOKSHELF:
All Our Yesterdays (All Our Yesterdays #1) by Cristin Terrill [audiobook]
Code Name Verity (Code Name Verity #1) by Elizabeth Wein [audiobook]

So, the library ban didn't go half as well as I'd hoped. Since I read 2/3 of the Under the Never Sky trilogy on loan and then some since my holds came in. But whatever. I didn't really think it'd work out that well for me. I have no willpower when faced with the library.

Still, I'm going to continue to try to make my bookshelf reading a priority. Especially considering I just bought 5 more books from BookOutlet and then a few more at my library's discard book sale. I'm actually running out of room on the shelf again, ack!

Also, this month I finally took the plunge into the world of audiobooks. I really enjoyed the experience despite lukewarm feelings towards the book itself. I'll probably be making a separate post in that soon too! For now, I'm going to try to get to two more from SYNC this month. We'll see!

I loved the Program, sorry it feel flat for you.
Just got Cruel Beauty on audio too for Sync Week.
Happy June reading!
The books that you read all look really good! I'm really excited to read Under the Never Sky.
Congrats on being able to read more books in 5 months than a year ^^ I have been trying to read more books in one year than I have in the past years.
