Hi friends! I hope May brought warmth and hope to your part of the world. I know it’s been tough at times but I hope you’ve been able to spend some time in a good book to be reminded that we share this world and its experiences together as long as we’re open-minded to learning. In this vein of thought, I had a post sharing some great quotes about why I read and hopefully you would find some comfort in them too. You can read that here.
Now onto the main point of this post. May was a decent reading month. I had this week off as I transition between jobs so it was a nice time to just decompress, catch up on sleep and read some good books.
What did I read this month?
4-5 Drink Me Potions
Don’t Breathe a Word by Jordyn Taylor (review here)
- Nuclear fallout shelters, an age-old mystery and dual POVs across time, this novel seamlessly meshes the stories together in the setting of a private boarding school.
Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch
- Heartbroken and stuck with an older brother she couldn’t stand at the moment, this book takes us across Ireland in a wonderful road trip that may just be what she needs to heal her heart.
3 Drink Me Potions
The Project by Courtney Summers (review here)
- Looking for answers from a cult that had stole her older sister, this story takes us on a journey into the heart of this enigmatic group and along the way, the protagonist may just lose and gain a bit of herself.
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles (review here)
- Alternating between dual POVs during different times in history, this ode to libraries and their importance in a world war challenges even us readers how far we would go to be heroes and save the stories we share and create.
Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley
- Faced with grief after her brother’s passing, a girl gets a second chance with a guy she had once loved and returns to his family’s secondhand bookstore that may just be the key to restoring some of herself.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- By no means an unknown story, I reread this to tutor a student in Grade 12 English and it’s actually better than I remember when I had to analyze this story.
2 Drink Me Potions
What’s Not to Love by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemond-Broka (review here)
- An enemies-to-lovers novel, these high school rivals tackle graduation and the last task they have to do together before they never have to see each other again. Or will they?
