May 2018 Wrap-Up: Books and Reading

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started May with 204 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …205! Not bad! It takes me a while to get back into a reading groove after a busy semester, especially with paper books, but overall May treated me pretty darn well!

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

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

Audiobooks – The Unpleasantness at Baskerville Hall by Chris Dolley – O Jerusalem by Laurie R. King – Head On by John Scalzi (reviews coming soon)
Read But Not Owned (Books) – The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan by Kim Barker – Valerian: The Complete Collection, Volume 1 by Pierre Christin (reviews coming soon)
E-books – The Power by Naomi Alderman (review coming soon)
Re-Reads – A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

Changes to the TBR pile

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– War Storm by Victoria Aveyard	– Justice Hall by Laurie R. King
– A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas	* 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.
