Hi, friends! Another month has flown by and we’re on our way to summer! Overall May was a very successful reading month for me! I’m very excited to share my stats and top reads with you. Keep reading to get the run down 🙂
Moods
This month I finally read 10 BOOKS!!! This has been my goal for each month of the year so far but May was the first time I hit that number. As satisfying as it is, I don’t think I’ll be pushing for that milestone again now that I’ve done it, though. I didn’t change my book length and I really had to power through the books to get there. In total I read 4,726 pages. My current status for the year is 41 out of my 80 book goal.
By genre I favored a mix of dark and adventurous reads.
Genres
Those dark and adventurous mood reads were from the leading genres here – thriller and fantasy (tied) as most-read, followed by horror. No big changes here!
Again somehow the historical genre crept in carried on the wings of another genre 😛 Must be some historical fantasies I read..
Length
In May half the books I read were 500+ pages. There was one short read (288 pages), and the remaining four books were medium-length.
Ratings & Highs and Lows
And finally, there was a spread of ratings, with only two books hitting above 4 stars. These top two books were….
*drumroll*
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson at 5⭐ for the month, an enchanting fantasy read.
Followed by The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas at 4.25⭐, a classic revenge story.
Thanks for popping by, and happy reading!
