May 2016 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started May with 203 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …204! May was better than April (or March) in terms of getting some reading done, but not as much as I was hoping – I’ve kind of fallen out of the habit. (Although I’ve done a bunch of re-reading, so that’s something..) Hopefully I’ll pick it back up again as the summer goes on.

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold – Texts from Jane Eyre: And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters by Mallory Ortberg
Read But Not Owned (Books) – Proposal by Meg Cabot
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) – The Wicked & The Divine, Vol. 3: Commercial Suicide by Kieron Gillen
Re-Reads – Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel – Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver – The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan – Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – The Atomic Weight of Love by Elizabeth J. Church

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– Price of Glory by Seth Hunter	– Summer Days and Summer Nights ed. by Stephanie Perkins
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
– Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– Tales of Arilland by Alethea Kontis	– Farthing by Jo Walton
* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
