My Month in Books: May 2026
Can you believe it is the end of May? I had a pretty great reading month this month! It will definitely slow down next month, as my additional job I take on every summer is happening for the next 3 weeks. However, I’m still super excited to see what books I do manage to finish. Here’s my bookish goings on this month.
