Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2010

May was a good reading month, but a bad life month life wise. I got sick, had to take time off work, billions of tests and still, they don't know what's wrong. Unfortunately that sickness impacted on Vampire Academy week and it didn't go completely as planned. BUT on the other hand whilst I was off for a week and a bit, with no Tech I had the opportunity to read to my hearts content, and so I did. Reviewing, facebooking, reading and crocheting were big on my list of to-dos this month.

My Favourite book for the month would have to be: Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead (big surprise there)

BUT this month I would like to give honourable mentions to both Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning and Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler both were absolutely fanastic and both would have won Month's favourite had Spirit Bound not come along...but it did.


In May I read 11 books.

• Beautiful Creatures - Margaret Stohl & Kami Garcia
• Bitten - Kelly Armstrong
• Lover Eternal - J. R. Ward
• Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood - Eileen Cook
