Whew! What a month. I can’t believe it flew by so quickly! There are finally signs of Spring (and not a mad rush to Summer): budding flowers and trees and….my car coated in pollen. Unfortunately, I can’t spend a great deal of time outdoors enjoying the weather due to allergies, but it gives me an excuse to stay inside and read!
This month, in particular, I found myself in all sorts of reading slumps. I wholeheartedly blame it on the quality of the books I did read! When I read a truly outstanding book, I need to take several days before I even attempt another. I do this for many reasons: allowing myself to fully absorb and appreciate my reaction to the book as well as giving subsequent books I read a fair chance! So, while my review list is short, the titles I did review were quite brilliant!
- The Blondes by Emily Schultz
- The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly
- Find Me by Laura van den Berg
- The Bullet by Mary Louise Kelly
- The Red Notebook by Antoine Laurain
- Review: The Wrong Side of Right by Jenn Marie Thorne
Pick of the month? Such a difficult choice….but I’m going with The Red Notebook by Antoine Laurain.
So.many.books coming out in May!
I’m not even going to include my failed attempt to take part in the read-a-thon! I have a good excuse, though:
The newest additions to the Casa Lawrence!
So, kittens and craziness aside, how was your reading month?
