Q: What is your favorite book you read in May?. I know we're already 9 days into June but May kept me incredibly busy, I'm just now getting around to posting this, phew!. In May, I read 7 books, DNF-ed 1 book, went to 3 concerts, traveled to Chicago for a 3-day weekend, and saw 13 Broadway shows. I don’t know when I slept in May!. Full wrap up post on the blog now, link in bio. These are a few of my favorites from May:. 🍋 This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede - Alessa is the chosen one – the Finestra – and each Finestra needs a Fonte – a person blessed by the goddess Dea with a unique gift – to work in tandem to protect their home island from the inevitable attack that comes every so often. This story goes with your typical “chosen one” troupe and switches it up, and I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. It was something familiar with something new. I felt like I understood and could picture this world easily. 🐴 Something Wilder by Christina Lauren - This was Indiana Jones meets National Treasure meets -insert any rom com of your choosing here- and I loved it! I didn’t expect this to be such an adventure story and that was a pleasant surprise! This story heavily focuses on the treasure hunt aspect and trekking through the desert. The romance of Lily and Leo felt like it took a slow burn backseat to everything else going on. And you know what? I didn’t mind that at all. ⏳Piranesi by Susanna Clarke - Piranesi is one of the hardest books I may ever try to review, because it’s one of those books you need to experience for yourself. It’s strange. Its a meandering story and I wasn’t quite sure where it would lead me, but I love a good journey, so I stuck with it. #MayWrapUp #WrapUp #MonthlyWrapup #MonthlyReads #MayReads #BookReviewer #BookBlogger #Bookstagram #Bookish #Bibliophile #Bookworm #BoostingYA #BookishLife #BooksOfIG #Bookstagrammer #bookishflatlay #booksandbroadway #whatireadthismonth https://www.instagram.com/p/Celh42ALIA9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
