I managed to read a total of 7 books in May. I think I could of read more but I experienced a little reading slump. One week I barely read anything, and I didn’t feel very motivated to pick up a book. But now I think I’m over the slump and now back reading.
The books I read in May-
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J Maas
This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and I have to say that I enjoyed every minute reading it. As soon as I started reading the book I was transported back into the world and I never wanted to leave. I am excited to see what will happen in the next book in the series.
Review coming soon
I rated this book 5/5 stars

Noah Can’t Even by Simon James Green
I absolutely loved this book. It was funny, smart, different and a very enjoyable read. I managed to read this in only a couple of sittings and I didn’t want it to end. I am so happy to learn that there will be a sequel to this, I cant wait to see what adventures and mishaps Noah will get up to next.

False Hearts by Laura Lam
False Hearts is a gripping, edge of your seat thriller, that is very difficult to put down when started. I thought the book was brilliant throughout, and I finished it in a couple of days. The story is different and very engaging, it had me glued to every page and I found it really hard to put down.

When Dimple met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
After reading so many great reviews about this book I went into it with very high hopes. Overall I did enjoy the book, even though I thought the story was lacking something original. But if you are looking for a diverse book with great writing, and interesting and engaging characters, then When Dimple met Rishi, is the perfect summer read.

Spellslinger by Sebastien De Castell
I had very high expectations about this book after reading the description. And now having read Spellslinger, I have to say that this book surpassed my expectations. I adored everything about this book, the story, the characters, the writing. Everything about it was so enjoyable to read that I am so excited to read the sequel later on in the year.
Review coming soon

Show Stopper by Hayley Barker
Show Stopper was another book that won me over with its description. It sounded different, interesting and intriguing. I have to say that I did like this book very much, the story was very interesting and kept me wanting to know more. I also found Ben and Hoshiko both engaging and well developed characters

Release by Patrick Ness
I have only read two Patrick Ness books before reading Release and I loved them both, so my expectations for this book were pretty high. I am not going to lie that it did take me a little while to get into this book, but once I got into it I couldn’t put the book down. I just wish that the book was a little longer.

Book of the Month
This month was very difficult to pick a favourite because I have read some really amazing books. But in the end I decided to go with Noah Can’t Even by Simon James Green. Noah Can’t Even is a genuinely hilarious coming of age story, that will make you cry with laughter and warm your heart. I connected with Noah so much that I started to forget that I was reading a story about a fictional character. I think a main reason why I loved this so much was because it is written so beautifully and I can’t wait to read more about from the author.
