Well for a month where I have been run off my feet and poorly, I did manage to get quite a few books cleared. Another month and another 12 books yay! There is one book I read, and sadly I couldn’t give it more than 2 stars so you won’t see that review on my blog. I am gutted as I have been picking blinding books lately and this one was just so disappointing.
The mini one has started to do ski racing and boy is she doing well. She is near the bottom of the pack (not bottom) but 2 races in and she is loving it! The improvement from 5 months ago is unreal, and she is so happy. She has made some lovely friends and she finally seems happy and settled. I am so proud of her.
I have been doing some writing this month, although slow progress but I have managed to get 2,000 words down, so I am happy. Hoping to do more tomorrow!
So what I read this month?
A couple of these will be featured in my Top books at the end of the year and one of them just blows everyone else away. Can you guess which one?

So how has my May turned out?
May acquired = 2 books
Both are for tours and will be cleared early doors!
Reviews posted on Net Galley = 7 reviews
My planned May clearance was 4 and I couldn’t listen to all the books I chose as I couldn’t get the audiobooks 🙁 but I did clear 3 of them. The problem is Scribd will have the book and you save it and then it goes – urgh, so I replaced the book.
The Furies was the replaced book and god… I wish I hadn’t…….
So my planned June reading, well…I have chosen 4 books again, and I am hoping they will be better than the book I just finished *yawn*
Bar the 1 horror, going to go for a softer side this month!
Well, I will be back next month with an update and more accountability!
How has your month been?
Until next time xxx
