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!

Since June is when school lets out, I’m probably going to be doing a lot of reading! I’m really looking forward for all these books; I also have blog tours posts coming up for CHANGE PLACES WITH ME and THE DREAMER!

I have quite a few blog tours coming up this month! I’m going to be participating in tours for books like THE WAY TO GAME THE WALK OF SHAME, THERE WERE ONCE STARS, PLEASE DON’T TELL, and LUCKY FEW. I’m super excited, and I hope you are too!

  1. How did you like TWtGtWoS? I really enjoyed it! And participating in the tour too!
    I actually wasn’t a huge fan of EItSF :/ I’m glad to see you enjoyed it though!
    I’m currently working on my wrap up post and it will hopefully go live tomorrow 🙂

  2. Great post! I had an amazing bookish month and It seems like you had a great month as well! You’ve read some interesting books this month. The way to game the walk of shame is already in my TBR and I can’t wait to read it. 😀
