Reading Recap: May 2023

Beaming with Pride

I’m super proud of myself, I’ve been reading and reading and then, reading some more. This month I even jumped into a new genre, fantasy. #BookTok got me into A Court of Thornes and Roses and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I haven’t read a fantasy story since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was in the 6th grade. I want to continue this series but the page count and thickness of the books scare me every time I’m in Barnes & Noble. I have to get over that… I read 600+ pages through multiple books so, I know that I can read 600+ pages in one book. It’s a mind-over-matter thing.

But let’s get into what I read in May.

I’m diving back into reading and taking my time to really enjoy each book—soaking up the writing, analyzing the characters, and seeing what makes a story stick (or miss the mark). Right here is where I write honest, no-fluff reviews.
