Well, May is over,
and we’re already almost halfway through the year. Holy cow. Where does the
time go? *sigh* May has been a pretty chill month. Besides going home to visit
my parents, I didn’t do a lot in terms of activities, but I did read more than
I have been. I also watched more television shows that weren’t Buffy or The Office, though I did watch those too.
Anywho, here’s my
May wrap-up and June TBR.
Books Read and Reviewed in May
Buffy Season 8 Omnibus Volume 1: 3/5 stars
Sky in the Deep:
4.5/5
stars
Geekerella: 2.5/5 stars
The Novice: 4/5 stars
Buffy Season 8 Omnibus Volume 2: No rating
Buffy Season 9 Volume 1: No rating
Buffy Season 9 Volume 2: No rating
The Inquisition: 4/5 stars
The Battlemage: 3/5 stars (No review yet.)
The Inquisition: 4/5 stars
The Battlemage: 3/5 stars (No review yet.)
These are in order
of when I read them, from left to right, throughout the month. I also stopped
giving the Buffy comics a rating and review after the first omnibus. There’s
just too many of them for me to keep reviewing.
Nine books in
total is really good for me. Although, the non-omnibus comics are only 100 or
so pages.
Books Bought in May
I bought six books
this month. All of which contributed to me going over my book budget. One book,
The Darkest Promise, isn’t pictured.
I left it at my parents’ house.
Books I Received for Free in May
Well, lots of
goodies this month. All are from the Take Shelf at work.
Book Budget Status for May
I knew this month
was going to be rough in terms of my book budge since I preordered so many new
releases. I’m actually kind of impressed. I only managed to go $7 over budget.
This means next month’s budget is $68.
Currently Obsessed With
I started fading
out of the Buffy phase towards the
end of May, especially since I finished re-watching the last season. I’m
currently watching season thirteen of Supernatural
for the first time.
Also, I’ve had
another Game of Thrones burst where
all I want to do in life is read GoT fanfiction and watch fan-made videos. Let’s
hope that clears up soon. I can never get my life back once I go down that
rabbit hole.
Currently Reading in May/June TBR
War Storm is the
big one (literally) for me. It’s so frickin’ huge! I thought I’d be done with
this book by now, but, unfortunately, I just keep putting it off. I’m 200 pages
in, and it’s really good. I’m just not in the mood to dedicate myself to the
book on weeknights after I come home from work and the gym. But never fear, I
will finish reading it this month!
Otherwise, I’m
hoping to finish The Battlemage by Taran Matharu (if I haven’t already). I’d
also like to read the next two Buffy Season 9 volumes, Kiss of the Royal by Lindsay Duga, and And I Darken by Kiersten White.
June Events
There are two
bookish events that I’m going to this month—that I know of.
One is a Penguin
Teen signing with Marie Lu, Sabaa Tahir, and Renee Ahdieh.
Two is BookCon.
The biggest book event of them all.
And the final
event isn’t a book-related event. It’s another movie. Incredibles II is coming
out, so of course I have to see it.

Okay, well, that’s
the month of May, plus some June sneak peeks, all wrapped up into one post. Do
you have a wrap-up post for this month? If so, share in the comments!
Not a bad month of reading! It seems like you enjoyed Sky In The Deep! That makes me happy because I enjoyed it as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI also have War Storm on my June TBR. It was actually on my May TBR as well but I didn't get a chance to pick up a copy. I actually just bought it about an hour ago. LOL. We took a trip to Barnes & Noble so the fiance could look at book ideas for Fathers Day gifts and I used it as my opportunity to pick up a copy.
Yes to Incredibles II! We will definitely be watching it this month as well! :D
My May Wrap-Up & June TBR
I'm glad you enjoyed Sky in the Deep! It was a good one! And yeah, I'm still only on page 300 of War Storm, I have no idea why it's taking me so long to get through the thing. Ugh. :)
