Good morning everyone! Happy Mother's Day to those who are mothers in whatever form that takes. If you haven't noticed I've been hitting you guys with lots of reviews (for me at least) this week. I didn't realize how far behind I was starting to get so I'm working on catching up with reviews. I'm hoping to post at least two more this week. May has started off as a strong reading month for me. I've finished three books already which I feel like is better than previous months so far this year. Hopefully I can keep up the reading pace!
Life has been pretty busy otherwise. We are at either a baseball or softball tournament every weekend (or both more often than not). During the week there are practices and league games as well as a multitude of other things. Thankfully, we are getting down to the end of the school year. My kids are more than ready to be done with school and for summer break to begin. I'm just enjoying it all because it always goes by so fast. Not much else new otherwise. I'm just going to share the books I've finished in May since it has been awhile since my last reading update. I've actually been pretty spotty on my posting this year - if you want to hear my thoughts on books more consistently check out my Instagram account (@samsbooks1020). I am on there more often talking books then anywhere else.
In May I have finished the following books:
Only Ever Her by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen was such an enjoyable read - I actually posted my thoughts on this one earlier this week. Check them out here if you are interested. I'm really looking forward to checking out more by this author as I enjoyed this one so much.
The Night Visitors by Carol Goodman was another really great read. I plan on posting my thoughts on this one later this week. It was the perfect reminder of why I enjoy Goodman's books so much. I really need to catch up with the rest of her backlist! She has such a way with creating these suspenseful and tense books that I can't get enough of.
Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse is a book that I just finished last night between innings during my daughter's softball game. It was really good and left me very excited to read the next book in the series which just recently released. I hope that we will continue to learn more details about this new world as the series goes on. I really enjoyed it and will be sharing my full thoughts on this one as well in the near future.
I'm now currently reading the following books:
Passion on Park Avenue by Lauren Layne is my current read on my e-reader. I'm reading it as part of a blog tour later this month. I'm enjoying it so far and am about 29% into it so hopefully I will get some quality reading time with it this week. In print I'm getting ready to begin reading The Right Sort of Man by Allison Montclair. This is the beginning to a new historical mystery series that releases next month. I've been in the mood for a historical mystery so I'm planning on diving into this one later this afternoon.
Plans for today are pretty much nothing besides relaxing and enjoying a quiet Sunday. My husband is cooking an early lunch/late breakfast for me and then I may roll my lazy self out of bed. Or not - it has been such a busy few weeks that I may just sit here all day. LOL! I would love to get a few of those reviews I've been talking about written. And maybe a load of laundry or two if I'm motivated at all. The kids do need clean clothes this week at some point. Ha! I hope that you all have a wonderful, relaxing day as well. Take care of yourself in whatever form or shape that takes!!
Happy Sunday and Happy Reading!
Hope you had a nice Mother's Day, Sam. I'll watch for your thoughts on THE NIGHT VISITORS. That one is on my list for upcoming days...whenever that is...ha!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I bet the kids are so excited for summer school. I remember those days when the summer just seemed wide open with the possibilities of adventures! So curious to hear about the new mystery series. I hope it'll be a good one!
