May Wrap Up

May was another slower reading month for me. I’m still reading a little slower than I was last year but that’s ok.

I’ve been humbled I read the following books… Continue reading May Wrap Up

Spring Cleaning – An Unhaul

I have reached the stage where I am officially out of shelf space! I have bookshelves in my bedroom for my read books (and all non fiction). In my living room I have some space for my unread physical books.

The Honeys

After a somewhat lacklustre reading month in April, I started the month with one of my most anticipated reads of 2023. This book also counted for my May prompt for Kayla’s Buzzword (flavours).
