Monthly Bookish Wrap Up – May 2025

May has gone surprisingly quickly and although I have been back at work this whole month, I have still been able to keep a fairly good pace of reading. I’ve read 11 books, 5 of these were from my 2024 backlist so…. YAY!! Most of the books I’ve read were audiobooks because I have been too physically exhausted to hold a book or to hold my eyes open when I get home from work. I’m definitely finding listening easier at the moment but I’m hoping this trend doesn’t continue all the way through June. I’ve got a pile of physical books that I am eager to start reading next month – preferably without falling asleep and dropping them on my face.
