wrapping up May

scifi, sheep, thrillers, and pirates. Plus what I want to read in June, and other things on my mind.

May was a great reading month for me! I hope life is going well for you, wherever you are.

I’ve decided to change how I post my reviews. Instead of monthly, I will organize them by theme, genre, or author, and post them as I finish each set. About 3-4 reviews each post.

This month I read:

• 2 books by Emily St. John Mandel

  • One was charming and the other almost put me to sleep.

• 2 books by Ottessa Moshfegh

  • One’s a new favorite and the other was… okay.

• The Vegetarian by Han Kang

  • Tragic. Heart-breaking. Powerful.

• The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

  • Loved it. Too short. Want more.

(6 books all by women!) From these, I plan on posting author reviews on Moshfegh, Mandel, and Flynn; and another post focused on feminist fiction by different authors, including Kang.
