    Ahhh we both didn't DNF a book this month! That's not too shabby, considering I feel like DNFing has been a constant this year each month for both of us! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Very cool! I didn't not finish a book either, but I was also not reading as much in May as I have been in previous months. But then again, I haven't been reading as much this year in total as I'd like! That's changing in June though, especially with the opportunity to finish some audiobooks on road trips.

      I'm currently listening to Home Front by Kristin Hannah, and next on my list is The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck for book club. I already read The Good Earth when I was a teenager, but having trouble getting into it again so I'm hoping that the audio version will help. After that, I'm thinking Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

    I am looking forward to having more time to read in September. Both of my young kids are off to school so I will have 5 hours to myself; hooray!
    I read Big Little Lies some time ago and really enjoyed it. I do like Moriarty's work. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Yeah!! haha Undying should really be a 5. Story-wise it was INCREDIBLE! There were just a lot of editing issues. I can't stop thinking about the characters and the plot though! I loved it so much!

    Hi Erica, I may have hit a bit of a slump or just summer fever. :/ I can barely finish my current book, Deadmen Walking, and I like Kenyon, too. You did great in May!
