May wrap up

2025/6/15 Edited to

... Read moreMay was a fantastic month for reading, filled with diverse genres and captivating narratives. Among the books that caught my attention were works by critically acclaimed authors like Kristin Hannah and Freida McFadden, both known for their gripping storytelling. Hannah's novels often explore deep emotional themes, resonating with readers on a profound level. Meanwhile, Freida McFadden's latest titles have been dominating bestseller lists, showcasing her ability to intertwine suspense with relatable characters. Reading is not just an escape but a journey through various lives and experiences. This month, I delved into stories that reflect the intricacies of human emotions and relationships. With the rise of platforms like BookTok, more readers are discovering incredible books through engaging recommendations and discussions. It’s inspiring to see diverse voices and narratives being shared widely. As we wrap up May, I encourage fellow book enthusiasts to share their thoughts on the month’s reads and recommendations. What books have you enjoyed? Let’s connect and celebrate the power of stories together!

I just started reading again, and eight books is a huge accomplishment to me. I found the joy of reading again and now I’m obsessed and get excited for new books. As of right now, my favorite genre is thrillers. Eventually, I might branch out to other genres, but for now thrillers are my love!! #

Of course I had to do a reread for the release of Fearless this month. I did do a quick skim reread of A Fate Inked In Blood before diving into A Curse Carved in Bone as well. 5 stars for both of them!! Wow! A book I saw circling Instagram was Mysterious Fathoms Below and that book was SO Good!

So this was for May. I’m still lying to get to 100 books for this year. Am I close? No. I feel like I need to read more Mangas, is that considered cheating? I don’t think so. But hopefully I get more done in June. I don’t think I will but still. Cheers! #bookwormsoflemon8 #packdarling
