May 2017 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started May with 214 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …213! May was pretty good – maybe not quite as much paper-book reading as I was hoping, but not too bad! It was also apparently the month of "read this book so you can watch the recent TV adaptation" – American Gods, Haindmaid’s Tale, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks… guess what I’m doing with my June? :) And I finally started chipping away at my year’s worth of backlogged reviews. Whoops.

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

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

Audiobooks – Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War by Mary Roach – The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot – The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi (reviews coming soon)
Re-Reads – American Gods by Neil Gaiman (review coming soon)

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood – Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield (reviews coming soon) – Yvain: The Knight of the Lion by M. T. Anderson
Added and then read (um… huzzah?) – A Fine Imitation by Amber Brock

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– The Wind’s Twelve Quarters by Ursula K. LeGuin	– Murder as a Fine Art by David Morrell
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
– Proposal by Meg Cabot
