MAY WRAPUP (aka the month of being a jobless booknerd)

May Reads!

Hi,

May has finally come to an end and I feel a bit panic-y because it also means it's been a month since I resigned from my work. It scares me that I might not be able to find a job any time soon 😱😱 Here's hoping I'll get something soon!!

I don't want this wrap-up to be a depressing one. oh wait, I feel that this is a really depressing wrap up because aside from not having a job at all, I only bought one book. ohmygosh. But I guess that means I'm being successful on my book buying ban. Yup, looking at it positively now.

books read

Dumplin' was a really great way to start my month. I grabbed it because I was getting into a slump. It brought me back up. I followed my YA contemporary kick with Words in Deep Blue because I was still not feeling Authority (when will I be able to continue this one though?). I LOVED Words in Deep Blue especially the romance side of it! The Sea of Tranquility kind of took me forever to finish it but I'm so glad I finally continued it. It had a slow start for me but I cried ugly tears in the end. The Last Star ended with a great big sigh from me and being glad for finally being done with this series. Lost in the Beehive was a really nice start for #ebookathon for me (this also means I changed my tbr for the read-a-thon. my choice anyway. lol). 

books hauled

Platinum End, vol5 by Tsugumi Ohba (story) & Takeshi Obata (illustration) | Red Dragon (Hannibal Lecter #1) by Thomas Harris | The Queen of the Tearling (the Queen of the Tearling #1) by Erika Johansen | Our Homesick Songs by Emma Hooper | Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris | The Body Counter (Detective Jude Fontaine #2) by Anne Frasier

The only book I bought this month is Platinum End, vol5 which I pre-ordered a few months back and it arrived quite late. Which is also fine. I promised myself that I'll only buy books I pre-ordered until August which is my birthday 😊 until then, I'll stick to reading books I have and borrowing books from my friend. Red Dragon and The Queen of the Tearling are books I borrowed. I'm reading The Queen of the Tearling right now but it's not really working out for me. But I'll still try to finish it. The last three books are eGalleys I got from NetGalley..

June to-be-read

I decided to still have The Vegetarian and Ramona Blue on this TBR because I failed to read them this May. I hope I can get around them this coming month. The Missing Ones is one of those eGalleys that's been sitting on my Kindle App for so long. Time to grab it, I think! Gone Girl is a random pick, to be honest. I want to put a book on my tbr that's in massmarket format so I can literally bring it anywhere 😀 And I think it's time to finally pick up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I have no idea when I'll be getting book 3 though. Probably in August 😅
