May Wrap-Up

May Overview

The first half of the month brought huge snow storms to my home in Colorado. Then I spent the second half of the month in hot, humid Kentucky.

My backyard on Mother's Day.

A riverboat in Louisville, KY.

I managed to get way behind on both reading and blogging. I blame school for this (because I don’t want to blame myself, of course). I had to go to Kentucky as part of my master’s degree program, and they kept me very busy. While I was there, I only had time to write one blog post and read about 70% of one e-book. That’s it. The rest of my time was spent doing school stuff. So, I read an embarrassing total of 4 books in May.

I did post my 100^th book review on Goodreads at the beginning of the month. Who would have thought that I’d ever write 100 book reviews?

Coming In June

I don’t know! I’m so behind on everything that I have nothing scheduled. I know that I have some new books being shipped to me, so there will be a book haul at some point. I want to write a discussion post, but I haven’t come up with a topic yet. I’m also hoping to finish reading (and reviewing) Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Not sure if that’s actually going to happen. If it does, the Dark Tower books will be the longest series that I’ve ever completed. I’m usually terrible at finishing series because I lose interest in them.

All The Things

All The Things = 9 books.

I’m currently reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan.
