Reviews

-A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: Loved all the Beauty and the Beast parallels.
-End of Days by Susan Ee: Kind of disappointing, but that ending fight scene was freaking badass.
-A Magic Dark and Bright by Jenny Adams Perinovic: SUCH FUN, SEQUEL NOW.
-The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh: I don't really get all the hype for this one?
-Lion Heart by A.C. Gaughen: It breaks my heart to say this was mostly a disappointment.

Favorite Book Read

This was just SO FUN and totally addicting and I loved it (you can add it on Goodreads right hereee).

Book Haul

The one with #booksfortrade and oh, look, another Book Outlet haul!

Weekly Posts

I shared ten books I will probably never read, authors I really want to meet, some book inspired tattoos, and ten books to put in your beach bag this summer.

I waited on the latest novel from a new favorite author, a book with British spies, a gritty sounding novel set in the woods, and a freaking gorgeous cover.  

Other Posts

The blog tours for Kim O'Brien's Bone Deep and Julie Reece's The Artisans stopped by this month. I posted about Have You Seen This?, and asked around for some books for my collection. I shared with series I hope to read for the Summer of Series challenge, and had an interview with They Call Me Alexandra Gastone author T.A. Maclagan.

For May, The Book Club That Shall Not Be Named read and discussed Impossible by Nancy Werlin!

And I went to the Swoon Reads tour stop in Seattle and met Sandy Hall...
