May Wrap up & June To Be Read Pile

Happy June first everyone! I'm still at a lost on how it can already be June already, oh boy right? Considering I am a idiot for not posting much like I hoped in May, I'm going to combine the wrap up with the TBR pile for the month of June in order to make short, simple, and sweet for you all. Let's get to it shall we?

~(Wrap up)~

In the month of May, I've read a total of six books which I am honestly surprised about to be honest here. One book was a bind up of a classic book, a middle grade book, a starter to a epic series, a graphic novel, and a book I've been slowly reading since March.. (Is that vague enough or should I just explain my books now? hehe. sorry!).

1 and 2. Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

I finally read Alice in Wonderland and it's sequel! It was enjoyable and I gave both a 4/5 star rating.

3. Sandman Volume one by Neil Gaiman

This is seriously one of the comics I've ever read and Neil Gaiman is hands down one of my most favorite authors of 2016. 5/5 stars

4. Secret Saturdays by Torry Maldonado

I got this short book from the local book festival in my hometown. It's middle grade and I fairly enjoyed it. I read in one sitting and I gave it a 4/5 stars because of the message this author was pointing out to kids. Plus, the author was a sweetheart to talk too in person.

5. Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

This book easily became one of my top faves of this year. 4.5/5 stars.

and finally 6. The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

After two full months, I finally finished this and am on the last one! It was a fun read, but at the same time, I had the urge to read other books so this one took a back burner for a period of time. However, I did enjoy Percy and the gang and I'm excited to read the next one in the near future. 4/5 stars.

~(TBR Pile)~

The pile is going to be short because I'm taking part of the 'Tomestopple' read a thon and I'm going to be enduring some personal stuff along the way this month. So here's the list my fellow wolves<3

1.Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

2. Redemption by Julie Chibbaro

3. The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simmons

4. A Court of Mist and Furry by Sarah J Maas

May TBR pile

I know I'm horrible with these sort of things. I'm sorry, but I have one set up for this month if that helps. To make this short and sweet, I'm discussing what I am going to be reading this month. I would include some images into this, but I just don't want too. I'll do it in the wrap up. So let's get started!

This month, I plan to read at least five books since I have some stuff going on this month like packing to move out with my boyfriend, job hunting, and mainly writing for potential publication. (I've finally got the groove back -dances a little-). A couple of books are books that I've started in late April so they just traveled to my pile for this month. :P

- - - - -

1. Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes (I've been dying to read start this series since I've heard that its like a young adult version of Game of Thrones. Plus it doesn't hurt to hear about how hot Magnus apparently is o.O)

2. The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan (I started this in March and I plan to finish it.)

3. The Body Electric by Beth Revis (I'm about half way through this on my nook and I plan to finish and have a review up before the end of the month).

4. Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll (By the time you see this post, I may or may not have finished this one already hehe..)

5. Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater (I need to read this and "The Raven King" before I attend her signing with my boyfriend >.> I love the boys and Blue so much so I need to get started on finishing this series right away!)
