Hi, I’m going to need everyone to stop putting out so many amazing books please. My bank account can no longer handle it. Okay, don’t actually stop putting out stellar books, I just need to find a way to win the lotto or something. And also add like five hours or so to every day. I don’t feel like these requests are unreasonable. On that note, here are some of the fantastic books I read in the month of May!
Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price: I was not expecting to love this YA murder mystery, but once I started, I couldn’t put it down! I am not a big P and P lover (gasp!) but this retelling was a lot of fun and one you could enjoy even if you aren’t a huge fan of the original.
Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay: This is one of the amazing books I read during my Palm Springs weekend getaway and it was the perfect pool day read. I loved the characters and it was super hot.
Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q Sutanto: There was so much buzz leading up to this book, which sometimes results in the book itself being a let down, but that was so not the case with this one. It was laugh out loud funny and I finished it in a day because I just couldn’t put it down once I started. You can read my full review here.
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner: I super scored here because I found a copy of this in a Little Free Library and I really enjoyed reading this one. It definitely took a darker turn than I expected, but it was another one I didn’t want to put down once I started.
Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl: I freaking loved this book. It was super steamy, yet had tons of heart and lots of laughs. I usually take a while to finish ebooks because my eyes can’t handle it, but I breezed right through this one. You can read my full review here.
Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin: I’m very behind on my popular YA fantasy because I like to read paperbacks, and I’d heard so much about this one and it really lived up to the hype!
Whiteout by Adriana Anders: I was reluctant to read this one because I hate the cold and I don’t love suspense, but I ended up enjoying this way more than I thought I would.
Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo: I mean, she just delivers every time.
The Housewives by Brian Moylan: I devoured this behind the scenes look at my favorite show of all time. So much tea was spilled and I was here for every drop of it.
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary: Lots of people are comping my book to this one so I figured I should read it and of course I loved it!
Another month of superb reading in the books (get it?)! On to the next!
