We have come to the end of May and my May 2021 Wrap Up! May was such a great reading month for me. Granted, a lot of the books that I read were graphic novels, but they were great graphic novels! I went on a requesting spree at the library as well, so expect way more in June. Plus, June is Pride Month! So stay tuned for Pride themed posts throughout the month.
Anyway, for May, I read a total of 44 books. 44! What a crazy amount of reading. I’m close to my goal for the year already, so I know I’ll definitely be surpassing it.
Reading Challenges
So, I didn’t quite finish challenges for Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge. I’ll have to be sure to do that next month. Now I’ll have to read three books for it next month instead. But I did finish the challenge for the Unreadshelf Project! The prompt for this one was bought as a new release, so I read The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna. And it was great! Can’t wait to see more from this author in the future.
Other May Favorites
Outside of TV, I didn’t actually watch any movies. Well, we watched some on TV, like Runaway Bride and Notting Hill. Also watched Captain America last night. But outside of that, nothing movie wise. But we’re watching The Handmaid’s Tale and Parks and Rec. I’m also re-watching The Office because why not. Other than that, it was definitely a book focused month!
