Month in Review: May 2022

I don’t know about you, but May seemed to fly by! It was a busy month and while I still managed to read quite a bit, it wasn’t quite a bit, it was a little shy of what I normally read…but I’m ok with that. There were a ton of really good new books out and I’m really looking forward to the next few months of outdoor reading, where I hope to just spend my days outside on the deck or at the beach reading! My tbr is out of control!!!
