Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t believe it‘s June 7th & I haven‘t posted my May recap or June TBR yet! While I didn‘t get to everything I wanted to read in a very busy month, I managed to read 16 books & took part in: #SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR
#AuthorAMonth #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #Roll100 (All 6 books!) #FictionalTraveler #ThematicCozies #MonthlyNonFiction2025 & several books for #SeriesLove2025

Read 12 fiction, 4 NF, 2 Audiobooks

My May TBR is aggressive & already in progress. Lots of readalongs & challenges including:

#SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #FoodAndLit #Bangladesh
#AuthorAMonth #ChildrensClassicRead2025
#RiseUpReads #Roll100 (6 books) #FictionalTraveler #ThematicCozies #MonthlyNonFiction2025
#JaneAustenThenAndNow plus some library books & a book for work.

The spins this month for #ReadYourEbooks gave me 3 NF, which is fun. I didn‘t manage to read any last month, so we‘ll see how I do in May!

This is how May turned out for me. Just two bingos, but some great reads! Still need to read Eight Bears, We Too and This Must Be the Place as they have reappeared for months.
Posting this makes me realize the many I have neglected to review here. I‘ll post some reviews asap!

May plans! Several with Maine vibes!

April really went off the rails and I‘ve been finding myself mood reading more often than following a plan. Bookspin bingo worked so well for me all last year and the beginning of this year. However, this season has been busy and I‘m restless, so we shall see how faithfully I stick to this board 🤷‍♀️

With the first book read in May, Feel The Bern, I accomplished my GoodReads reading goal to read 52 books in 2023📚🤗52 books for me is a comfy reading goal because is an average of one book per week. Now everything I read for now on is an extra reading ☺️📚📚📚

My goal is to read more books from my old tbr and complete series I started long ago😳

I actually met my goals for #MagnificentMay readathon! I finished both Tall, Dark, & Wicked and Murder with Macaroni and Cheese; plus I started and finished Tweet Cute, Friends Forever, and A Burst of Light. That‘s one more than I set for my goals. Four of the five were really good. Thanks @Andrew65 for another good boost to my reading focus.

Taking a swing at #MagnificentMay readathon with @Andrew65 - I would like to read, even a little bit, every day. I would like to finish Tall, Dark, & Wicked; read Murder with Macaroni and Cheese (which I started today at kiddo‘s dance rehearsal), and read two other books from my #BookSpin list.

In under the wire with my #BookSpin list for May (MAY!?) My 40th birthday will be this Cinco de Mayo, so if you see this, have a Marg for me!! 🍹

I‘m going to be busy next month! Here‘s what I‘m most excited about in May! #NewReleases #ComingSoon!

Here is my #MayTBR! It will be a month of continuing series as my main goal, and a few other random picks. I also want to read at least 2 NetGalley ARCS I have been approved for so I will continue to get approved.
I will as always be participating in #bookspin #bookspinbingo and #doublespin and possibly other Readathons that pop up.

Gathered up all of my group/buddy reads for May. I think I might need to rearrange the nightstand to make room for everything!
