"yes, May is over already!"
How was your month? I had a decent May -- (10) books: (5) audio books, (3) eBooks and (2) review copies. That makes (59) for 2012, so right on track for my goal of (125).
I still haven't reviewed Home; Toni Morrison. It's a short novella, I liked it a lot, but just haven't put my thoughts into words yet. Neighborhood Watch was an audio book I listen to and liked. Parts sounded familiar, and guess what I actually read this in hardcover and found I reviewed it as well when it was first released a couple of years ago....LOL. It's a psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. The audio edition was read by Coleen Marlo who did a great job.
