6/15 Edited to

... Read moreSharing my May reading list has always been a joyful experience, giving me a chance to reflect on some of the most captivating books I've enjoyed recently. Among these, 'The Summer Surviving Starling' stood out with its gripping narrative and well-drawn characters, earning high ratings around 4.5 to 5 stars from readers. It's fascinating how certain books not only entertain but deeply resonate, making them memorable companions during quiet moments. I also recently read 'The Night We Met,' a deeply emotional novel that explores themes of love and loss. It’s no surprise to see it praised as a remarkable story, fitting for those who appreciate poignant storytelling. One tip I’ve found helpful when diving into these reads is to set a personal reading goal; for example, aiming for 30-40 books in a year keeps me motivated and engaged. Another title worth mentioning is 'Brighter' by Rachel Hochhauser, which offers a fresh perspective and enriching character development. Including these books in your May reading challenge can provide a well-rounded mix of genres and moods that cater to different tastes. Overall, maintaining a seasonal reading list, like a May reads collection, is a wonderful way to explore new authors and stories you might otherwise miss. Whether you’re a casual reader or a committed bookworm, these selections have something special to offer and can inspire your own curated reading journey.

My May reads! I finished a book called “100 days to brave”. I thought it was a very cute and fun way to have a little devotional whenever you want to put some more Bible reading into your day. I loved how everyday had a challenge at the end of it. Overall super great. “On a quiet street” has

6 books this month— since I read all thrillers/horror, i definitely need to (try) branching out and trying more genres. It’s hard though because the thrillers are the ones that keep me intrigued most! Otherwise, it takes me way too long to read a book. #mayreads #reading #BookReview #books
