This is a brilliant idea I’ve stolen from Devourer of Books. In May I read nine books, which actually surprises me. I don’t feel like I’m reading that many. This monthly retrospective will definitely help me keep tabs on that. A lot can happen while you’re not paying attention.
Two of the books I read this month were ARCs – one from the publisher and one was an Early Reviewers snag from LibraryThing. Five were non-fiction. Of those, two were memoirs. Only one was historical fiction.
Note: The titles of the books link to my reviews.
