May was an interesting month that started off with me seeing Taylor Swift in Nashville and was capped off with a weekend at home where I unexpectedly got to see another of my best friends. It’s always a good month when I get to see two out of the three of them, given that all four of us live in entirely different states. Gotta love adulthood, you know? Anyway, a great month full of lots of Taylor Swift because I also participated in the May Read-A-Thon hosted by Bookish Swifties Club and had so much fun being part of Team Bejeweled! But enough of that, let’s get into the books I read and then what I’m looking forward to reading in June!

June TBR
I only have six ARCs for the month, which is great because I have a billion that I’m behind on. You know, approximately. Otherwise, I’m hoping to get to a whole bunch of books that I’m just in the mood for like…
What are you looking forward to in June? Please let me know!

Wow that is a bunch of books. I have been trying to keep up with how many books I read this year. I had no set number in mind. I haven’t read as many as you, but I still feel accomplished.

However many you read is enough! Especially if you’re enjoying what you read. 🙂
