I didn't read my #DoubleSpin book! 😱 I did start it, but it seemed like a serious commitment and I didn't have the bandwith. Will definitely try to finish it before the end of the year.

In my quest to reduce pressure, I removed three books from my list that I decided I really wasn't all that interested in trying. Go me!

Finished 17 books this birthday month. I‘m honestly not sure how I managed that many. Lore Olympus is, of course, my fave of the month, but I finished strong with three stellar mysteries in a row. I managed both my #bookspin and #doublespin, and triple bingo!

Well there is no way I‘m finishing another book in the next two hours. I might be long at the back of my eyelids in the next two minutes. Not a bad month

I enjoyed this a lot in the end, though I only really settled into it today. I am agog at the developments at the end, and really want more of the story so we can get more of this slow burn.

Also, this was my #DoubleSpin and that's a blackout for #BookSpinBingo as well!

I got 2 bingos, both diagonal in May. My #Bookspin book was Our Beautiful Boys, and my #Doublespin book was Wolf Hall.

This was really good! Romantasy, magic, old gods, an evil prince bent on gaining power. This ended in a nice conclusion. It seems like it‘s going to be a series, but it didn‘t end in a cliffhanger and could be read as a standalone.

This was my May #doublespin pick.

Happy June and Happy Summer! I showed my mom my #Bookspin #Doublespin, and she said she votes for number 18. I told her that‘s now how this works, but she REALLY wants me to read The Island of Sea Women 🤣.

May was a solid reading month. Multiple #bookspinbingo along with the completion of both my #bookspin and #doublespin. There were some intense nonfiction reads, a couple fluffy books, and unexpected endings abound.

May top reads: Can't Get Enough, Trees, Remember Me, and When the Tides Held the Moon.

Thank you for hosting this fun reading challenge @thearomaofbooks!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This was my #DoubleSpin for May, and it reminded me a lot of Monty Python. I think it was good enough for me to read the second book in the “Land of Dis“ series, Distopia at some point, but I'm not rushing to start it right away. For once, I'm remember to also tag #2025OffMyShelf!
