May Recap

THIS MONTH, friends. SO bananas. I was planning for BEA, which was crazy and awesome and tiring and fabulous, and busy on the weekends and AHHH! May went by so fast! But it was still a wonderful month: I got a few days off of work, I got to eat my first watermelon of the summer, I saw my besties at BEA, and am–as always–so excited about books. I’ll have a rundown of BEA later this week, but for now, here’s what happened around the blog this past month!

BOUGHT

may recapSince You’ve Been Gone • Morgan Matson

recapTHE MUSEUM OF INTANGIBLE THINGS by Wendy Wunder was good, but not perfect.

Guys, I just adored the CRAP out of DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor.

I haven’t ready many epistolary novels, but LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD by Ava Dellaira was super.

Summer is the perfect time for fun contemps, and I thought BROKEN HEARTS, FENCES, AND OTHER THINGS TO MEND by Katie Finn was just that.

Our On the Same Page book this month? THE CAVENDISH HOME FOR BOYS AND GIRLS by Claire Legrand!

recapI looooooove a pretty book cover, friends, but these 10 (or maybe more than 10) are ones that I would hang on my wall.

Books with awesome friends are always doubly awesome. I particularly love these 10 examples.

recapFairy godmother fantasy? YUP. I’m all in for STRAY by Elissa Sussman.

I am FIDGETING WITH EXCITEMENT for THE YOUNG ELITES by Marie Lu. FIDGETING!

Holly Black’s THE DARKEST PART OF THE FOREST sounds just fantastic. AND THAT COVER.

Pretty great month! How was May in your necks of the woods?
