Hope You Had a Good Month for Books
I still have 3 to review as well and I am panicking because I have to get to them before I forget them! LOL
ReplyDeleteI envy that you can plan your reading tastes for the next month. I am more of a grazer and mood-chooser!
You sure are organized, Diane! I missed your review of The Land of Steady Habits (must have been when we were on our road trip), but it sounds excellent. Have just added it to my audio list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Diane. I've read positive reviews for The Book of You.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Book of You...it kept me reading until my eyes were tired, but I couldn't seem to put it down.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm very curious about The Land of Steady Habits.
You had a great May...Good luck with June!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great May! I had it pretty slow, what with so much happening. Hope we have a great June!
ReplyDeleteA great reading month for you. Three of the books you rated at 3.5 are on my stacks. Wonder how I will respond to them. Have a great June, we are counting down the days to our first grandchild's arrival.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's an accomplishment -- 11 books. None of your titles are familiar to me, but some of them got me curious. Happy reading in June!
ReplyDeleteThose lists always impress me!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list as always - that's three months reading for me :)
ReplyDelete57 is my goal for the whole year! Lots of great reading :)
ReplyDeleteI read nine this month and still have reviews to write too. I am always struggling to stay on top of them!
ReplyDeleteI also listened to Ruin Falls - I liked it a little more than you did. The pacing was a bit uneven, but I listened to most of it while gardening - which is a happy activity for me - so the slow spots didn't bother me too much.
Diane, if you're a slacker than I'm not sure what I'd be called! You read a lot of books last month. I hope June finds you reading to your heart's content.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with your June list, so I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. Happy reading!
