IT’S MAY! I can’t believe we’re five months into the year already. I mean, where are the months flying to?! April has been a pretty decent month in terms of work, life and reading; actually it has been more than a decent reading month for me! I think I even shocked myself when I counted how many books I got through. In no particular order, here’s what I read:

So in total I read 17 books in April. I thought I was having a bit of a slow reading month but that definitely wasn’t the case! I read the majority of these as e-books and I realize that I often read much faster on my Kindle compared to when I’m reading a physical book. I’m also glad that I was able to get through 6 ARCs this month because my NetGalley TBR was getting a little ridiculous! My Goodreads Reading Challenge is currently at 60/75 books, so I think it’s about time I change my goal and bump it up to…90 books. If my year continues this way, I think 2019 will be a record making book year. Exciting times!
Out of all these books, my favorite(s) have to be The Dry and The Lost Man by Jane Harper. These were both such fantastic reads and I couldn’t possibly choose between them. I’m so glad that I finally picked up Jane Harper this month because she has made a place for herself on my favorite authors list and also my auto-buy authors list. I’d highly recommend picking her up up if you haven’t yet!
There are so many books I’m looking forward to reading in May and I’ve already posted about the books I’m most excited for. I just got an email today telling me that my Special Edition Owlcrate Finale box has just shipped today. AAAH 😃

17 Books is amazing. That’s great. I tend to read slower on my ereader but that is just because for some reason big fantasy just goes better for me with physical books?

Thanks, it really was a great reading month! I do love reading big/epic fantasies as physical books but I really speed through most of the other lighter reads on my Kindle!

I really liked Force of Nature, the second book in the Jane Harper series so I definitely want to read The Lost Man, too. I’ve heard great things about it! I like the concept of The Hunting Party so I’m probably going to read that one soonish, too. I totally adore the design of your comment section and it’s too cute that this space looks like a post card. so very cute. Happy reading in the month of May! c:
