Favorite of the Month: Bound by Flames (Night Prince #3) by Jeaniene Frost because there is a particularly hilarious revelation at the end of the book.
Least Favorite of the Month: Skin Deep (Legion #2) by Brandon Sanderson (the Benevolent)- because I have very high expectations of this author (as one of my faves), and this was a big letdown.
Most Interesting of the Month (or Book I Learned the Most From): The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare by G.K. Chesterton because this book is set in a period of time in which anarchy and its supporters is the big fear, and I quite frankly didn't know much about anarchy as a political movement before reading this. I gave it two stars because it ended very strangely in a pseudo philosophical way that I didn't appreciate.

Planning to Read This Month:
Happy Reading!
I'm sorry to hear you haven't been having the best luck finding those gem books. It always makes for a boring month when every book just feels meh. Congratulations on reading 5 books already, though! I think I've been slacking off a bit; I'm already 4 books behind schedule on my Goodreads challenge and have only read 1 book this month so far. Keep on being awesome, Litha! :)

Sorry about your Goodreads challenge, Laura. :( You'll probably catch up over the summer though- that's what I always used to do.
DeleteYeah, I need to find some awesome books stat, but I'm worried that if I read some by my favorite authors that they'll also be low rated by me, and then I'd feel awful. So, I'm reading relative unknowns to me to spare their feelings. ;)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Laura!

Hey Litha! I noticed on Goodreads that a lot of your recent reads have been low rated, it stinks hitting a slump like that! It's great that you've picked up your reading pace again though, you've knocked out more than I have so far this month. :) I hope you find some goodies soon, maybe a new book from NetGalley? Octavia E. Butler's Earthseed books are up there, could be a series to check out if you haven't read the two already. Either way, I hope you have an awesome rest of the month!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does! I have a feeling I may hit an excellent book sooner or later, but I definitely hope for sooner. I have a book from NetGalley that I accidentally agreed to review (apparently by clicking a link) but my main request (for Age of Swords) hasn't come through yet- hopefully I haven't been put on the naughty list for my slow-blogging ways. I do have Earthseed, but I am saving those for the summer/fall (or that's what I'm telling myself) because that's when I read them last year. I hope you have a wonderful May too, Jamie!

You are certainly into your barechested men lately. XD
ReplyDeleteWell, the Sanderson (I mentioned on ine of your later post because I am comment vomiting backwards) I see is a sequel. Oh well, I'll see if the library has the first one. It's seminormal for us to get snow here in May, so I wasn't all that shocked with our weather, but it still wasn't a welcome sight for me either. That's for sure. :P
I do it to scandalize the straight-laced neighbors. ;)
DeleteIf this were any other year, it wouldn't be as big of a deal to me but having one arm semi-permanently attached to a cane means everything takes longer, including taking plant minions in. I used to go to Butte Montana every Fourth of July, where it was weirdly normal to have the occasional snow shower, even in July. O_o I like my snow seasonal, thanks very much.
