Monthly Recap: May 2016

Happy last day of May! Hope your May was fun! My month was pretty uneventful albeit SUPER busy. I’m continuing to write IAs (Internal Assessements, which are basically really long essays/explorations) for each subject and study for SAT subject tests, so that’s why I was on a semi-hiatus.

Today, I’m sharing the books I read, updates on challenges, what music I listened to, what shows I watched, and my TBR for May! I’m also including all the guest posts from all the lovely bloggers who were kind enough to help me on my semi-hiatus this month!
