My May update is a little pathetic, I feel, since I didn’t actually manage to read that many books! But I’m excusing myself because one of them was really long. 🙂 Here are my stats for this month:
Currently reading: Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory by Ben Macintyre
Books read in May:
- Lauren Willig, The Ashford Affair
- Michael Innes, Hamlet, Revenge!
- Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
- Jennifer Echols, Star Crossed
- Dorothy Dunnett, Niccolò Rising
Favorite book of the month: I have to say The Count of Monte Cristo. It was very long and sometimes difficult, but it was definitely worth it!
Least favorite book of the month: Definitely Niccolò Rising. It was such a slog, in my opinion…I just don’t think Dorothy Dunnett is an author for me. (When I review this book, hopefully I can explain why!)
Books acquired in May:
- Sharon Kay Penman, Devil’s Brood
- Deanna Raybourn, A Spear of Summer Grass
- April Lindner, Catherine
- Sarah Mylnowski, Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn’t Have)
- Rona Jaffe, The Best of Everything
- Patricia Wynn, The Spider’s Touch
- A.A. Aguirre, Bronze Gods
Once again I’ve acquired more books than I’ve read, which does not bode well for my already stuffed bookshelves! I’m justifying these to myself on the grounds that I only actually paid for four of them; the other three were giveaway wins. That makes it OK, right? 🙂
