Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2022

Happy almost-June! This month I read 5 books and 1 novella for a total of 2083 pages, which is about 200 pages less than last month 😅

Books read this month:

I read a little bit of everything this month. Lol. I started off with a contemporary romance. Yeah, Flirting with Fate is my second one this year. I'm surprised too 😂 But I liked it! It had a magical twist to it AND POC characters, which is always nice. This one was a little more family-centric than what I'm used to from contemporaries, but I liked that aspect of it.

After that I read Daughter of the Deep, which I also liked. I'm not very familiar with the work this is based on, but I liked the story and the tech. It was pretty fun!

And then out of nowhere I decided I wanted to read a historical with romance and comedy 🤷‍♀️ I don't even know 😂 But I enjoyed My Lady Jane! It was silly and fun!

And then keeping up with the theme of historical... well, kinda. The Strange Case of Finley Jayne and The Girl in the Steel Corset are steampunk, which is a genre I have not read in a while, but I enjoyed it! Although, if I'm honest, I definitely liked the prequel more than the actual book because The Girl in the Steel Corset has a love triangle, and we all know how I feel about that 🤮😂 I did like the characters and technology though! It was pretty cool.

The Rules, on the other hand, I loved! The main character is a human/alien hybrid and she lives by a certain set of rules so that the lab that created her doesn't find her. The story was very interesting and the romance was really cute!

Favorite book of the month:

I really enjoyed this one! I liked the characters and the story... Ari's past was horrible and intriguing all at once. Plus, she has alien DNA in her! How is that not interesting? Lol.

Least favorite book of the month:

None! I enjoyed them all to one degree or another!
