May was my slowest month so far, in terms of both reading and reviewing: I read three books and only wrote one review. The books I read were:
In Summer Light by Zibby Oneal
What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman
Escape by Carolyn Jessop (with Laura Palmer)
I reviewed this book (click on link for review):

I read a lot of good books in May. Now if only I had written as many reviews. but I I really enjoyed The Middle place bu Kelly Corrigan.

ReplyDeleteNicole, I'd say you did much better than I did! The Middle Place is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie!
Did you review it, Jess? I'd love to compare notes!
Ladytink, me thinks you might have skimmed my post! :) I only read a measly three books this month, so you did much better than I did!
We all have slow months, but you still accomplished a lot. :)
