May Reading Wrap Up

In the month of May I read 21 books. Much better than previous months. I read one nonfiction book, For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn. It definitely enlightened me on some of the things men think and why. My absolute favorites are in bold below. Hurricanes in Paradise is going on my top favorites for the year list. My review will be up next week. I read the last book in two great Christian YA series, Love Will Keep Us Together and So Over My Head. Both I highly recommend. I had a good variety of historical, YA, contemporary, women's, classics, mystery/suspense and non fiction. :)

May Reads in Review

For the month of May I read 25 books. Two were rereads and one was a nonfiction book. My absolute favorites are in bold. The ones with stars are going on my top 10 for the year. I liked most of what I read though. The only book I do not recommend is Ruby Unscripted. The nonfiction book was The Lost City of Z by David Grann and I thought it was okay. Here is the link to my review of it: http://abookloverforever.blogspot.com/2009/05/lost-city-of-z-by-david-grann.html

Overall a good month. This month (June) I am particpating in a 30 books in 30 days reading challenge hosted by Shauna at Readings and Ruminations. I am right on track for it. Hopefully I can keep my momentum going and finish. :)
