Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2021

Hello, everyone! This month has been a whirlwind. I crossed 1000 views and 500 likes here on the blog. Thank you all so much for the support! I’ve managed to post daily for the entire month, which was more difficult to keep up with than I thought it would be. I’ll probably slow down a bit for a while, but I have some great things planned for June, as well. So, we’ll see. It will probably depend on how busy work is in the near future. I made quite a bit of progress on my reading goals this month, and I actually finished my monthly TBR for the first time! Check out all the details below:

TBR: May 2021 Reading List

I struggled a bit keeping up with the pace I set last month. I also decided to swap some books out so I could read others. Overall, I felt rushed and somewhat stifled because of the commitments I made, which is not how I want to feel about reading. So, I’ve decided to do things a bit differently this month. I am going to set both a lower number goal and a shorter list goal, which will hopefully give me a little more flexibility.

In total, I plan to read 10 books in May 2021. I may end up reading more than this, but I don’t want a repeat of the rushed feeling I felt last month.

My list for this month includes the following books:

  • The Other Side of Magic by Ester Manzini (eARC)
  • REPLAY by Trevor Morris (eARC)
  • Reality Testing by Grant Price (eARC)
  • The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner (Hardcover)
  • Star Wars: Doctor Aphra by Sarah Kuhn (Hardcover)
  • Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas (Hardcover)

There will obviously be others, but I want the flexibility to pick them based on what I’m feeling like reading at the time. I also intend to read more comic books this month with a goal of completing at least two volumes of something. I just haven’t decided yet exactly what I want to read.

What do you plan to read this month? Do you ever feel stifled by your TBR goals?
