May was a CRAZY month. It was my birthday at the beginning of the month, and then we went on vacation at the end, with lots of work in between! I had so much going on, and yet I still read ten books!
- Sky in the Deep - Adrienne Young (5 stars)
- The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller (3 stars)
- A Court of Frost and Starlight - Sarah J. Maas (3 stars)
- Down Among the Sticks and Bones - Seanan McGuire (4.5 stars)
- The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater (4 stars)
- Every Heart a Doorway - Seanan McGuire (4.5 stars) [reread]
- Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - Gail Honeyman (4 stars)
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid (4 stars)
- Nothing But Sky - Amy Trueblood (3 stars)
- Beyond a Darkened Shore - Jessica Leake (4 stars)
I finally seem to be getting out of my book slump! I really enjoyed most the books I read this month.
Most Anticipated was Sky in the Deep. What a beautiful story about love and redemption. The plot itself is simple, but the character arc was emotional and poignant and the writing was evocative and lush. Another Viking inspired book was Beyond a Darkened Shore, which I had received in my April FairyLoot box. It was a wonderful fantasy adventure, blending historical events with Celtic and Norse mythology.
I also read The Raven Boys, the first in a series that I've heard about for years and am finally getting around to! I also read a couple contemporaries that I've heard a lot about, Elinor Oliphant and Seven Husbands. Both were beautiful and gripping.
I'm currently reading The Queens of Innis Lear, and I have a huge TBR going into June!
