June is here and with it summer reading. May ended up being just an okay reading month for me but I am going into June much more hopeful. I am hoping that I'll be able to enjoy some reading time by my sister's pool this month and that I can mange to get through a few more books than normal.
Before sharing what I hope to read this month I have to recap May first.
The books that were on my list are:
Here is what I managed to read in April:
When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole (goodreads)
Plus I had some ebooks on my list:
Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson (goodreads)
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St James (goodreads)
Animal by Lisa Taddeo (goodreads)
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid (goodreads)
Elizabeth and Monty by Charles Casillo (goodreads)
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (goodreads)
Pumpkin by Julie Murphy (goodreads)
Pumpkin by Julie Murphy (goodreads)
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St James (goodreads)
Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler (goodreads)
Elizabeth and Monty by Charles Casillo (goodreads)
Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (goodreads)
I read only five books, but two of them were a little more dense and took me longer than I anticipated that they would.
My #PopCultureResolution book for May was The Sun Down Motel by Simone St James. The movie was Final Girls. I reviewed the movie if you are interested in checking that out and the book review is coming in early June. I, obviously, did not get to When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole (again) but I will this month. I am going to make it top priority.
Here is what I hope to read in May:
I also have some (okay I have a lot) ebooks I am hoping to get to:
Animal by Lisa Taddeo (goodreads)
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid (goodreads)
Blackout by Multiple Authors (goodreads)
Survive the Night by Riley Sager (goodreads)
Darling by K Ancrum (goodreads)
My #PopCultureResolution picks for this month are I Am Watching You by Teresa Discoll and Sinister. I am looking forward to both of them and am genuinely excited to see Ethan Hawke in Sinister.
Next up is an update on my two reading challenges:
June's pick for my '12 friends, 12 books' reading challenge is The Miseducation of Cameron Post so I'll be getting to that at some point this month. I had already read May's choice back in April.
June - The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M Danforth (Christa)
July - The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (Jess)
August - The Grace Year by Kim Leggitt (Christa)
Sept - Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (Meaghan)
Oct - Among the Beasts and Briars by Ashley Poston (Katrina)
Nov - Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbott (Kim)
Dec - Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney (Julia)
