Huh. How bout that. I read 14 books in May. I chose a lot of short ones this month, which I highly recommend as a strategy to get out of a reading slump. There were a lot of good ones in the mix too.

All of the N.R. Walker ones surprised me. I didn’t know that I needed a Scientist/Storm Chaser adventure romance, set in the Australian outback, but I absolutely did. I returned to Garrison Park in Knock Knock and got to watch the brothers’ sweet relationship blossom into something so loving and wonderful. Completing Lily Mayne’s Folk series gave me life, even through the angst and tears. Funny Story made me actually laugh out loud. And I finally, finally got to see how Roc and Hook got on during their trip to Everland. I only wish Nikki took her time with the story a little more, but I think it’s supposed to be a series? Oh and I blasted through some of my physical TBR, which is good because, uh, I’m a dragon, you guys. Some day I will post a picture of my shame hoard.

Anyway, what did you read in May? Feel free to let me know.
