Books Read = 18
hahaha 18 accomplished once again!!! But just barely. There may have been a string of graphic novels read one weekend but eh, still counts. I didn’t realize how positively horrible I did at review writing though… 2? Ouch. So lots of reading, not a lot of writing. It happens.

Unreviewed Reads
A few of the other reads from May that I don’t plan on reviewing. The rest of the 18 should have reviews in June. We’ll see how that goes. haha

I love my foodie fiction novels but I had yet to pick up Ruth Reichl. This was an absolute delight and reminded me much of Nora Ephron’s glorious writing style. Just with more food. I purchased Comfort Me with Apples: More Adventures at the Table this week and hope it’s just as good.
Least Favorite: Borderline (The Arcadia Project #1) by Mishell Baker ★★
I had heard some massively great things about this one and I splurged on the audible version and just could not get into the story at all. I really loved the less than typical main character but this one just didn’t do it for me for some reason.
I am only just now delving into the glories of Foodie Non-Fiction. Read my first Reichl this month and my first Bourdain. It was a good month.
Biggest Disappointment: A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas ★★★½
Uggghhhhh I hate listing this but it’s true. I was disappointed. It wasn’t the worst but it definitely failed to live up to my (admittedly enormous) expectations. It is what it is.

I’ve just discovered the pleasures of reading books but not reviewing them! Although I do intend to go back and write reviews, but I just feel so lazy these days. Ugh. I’ve never read Ruth Reichl but now I want to!

I’ve definitely been doing more reading than reviewing. I have some catching up to do.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be doing some past reviews… I think I’ll just leave it at that and try to do more in the books I read this month. 🙂

I’ve also been struggling with reviewing books than reading and I’ve been doing mini reviews lately to make up for it. I hope you have a great June!
