If you're reading this, I survived May! I'm not exactly out of the woods yet because exams are still to come, but it seems crazy to think that by my next month in review, I'll be a high school graduate. Here's what happened in May:
What I Read:
Hollow City by: Ransom Riggs: 4/5 stars
Thirteen Reasons Why by: Jay Asher: 3/5 stars
Half-Blood by: Jennifer Armentrout: 1/5 stars
Hamlet by: William Shakespeare: 3/5 stars
Talking as Fast as I Can by: Lauren Graham: 5/5 stars
We Are Still Tornadoes by: Michael Kun and Susan Mullen
Favourite book: Obviously Talking as Fast as I Can seeing as it was my only 5 star review! But to be honest, there weren't any books this month that completely and utterly shattered my mind. I'm kinda in a "meh" stage of reading.
What I Blogged:
I'm actually quite proud of my blog posts this month! I really enjoyed writing my Gender Neutrality in Writing post and got a lot of great opinions!
Favourite Blog Posts of the Month:
Brooklyn shares her Winter Reads
Sierra has made a Return to Blogging
Cait shares YA Parents that Need Prequels
Lais discusses Reading in Other Languages
Life Stuff of the Month:
Oh god, what didn't happen this month?! Prom happened, University acceptances happened, flooded basements happened, birthdays happened, tv shows being awesome happened, being sociable happened as well! It was a hell of a month and being finished is such a relief.
I am happy to be getting into June, and more than happy to be almost done high school. But enough about me, how was your month? Did you do anything fun?
Emily @ Paperback Princess
May sounded fun but also quite hectic for you! Hopefully June will be a bit calmer and your exams go well. I'm kinda sad May is over as June is my busy exam month haha, but it's also closer to summer and FREEDOM :P
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte! Good luck on your exams as well :)
DeleteSorry you've had a meh reading month :( But yay for the blog posts and wow it does seem like life's been hectic for you! I agree though - I'm ready for June and VERY ready for May to be over. It's been a stressful month for me, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely June, Emily!
Thanks Amy! I'm glad you've been able rid yourself of your stress as well :)
DeleteHa, sometimes life is hectic *shrugs* enjoy what you can and try not to put too much pressure on yourself! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cee :) I'm trying to!
DeleteAwh, thanks for the mention! I'm glad you liked Hollow City, I thought it was really cool.
ReplyDeleteExciting that you're about to finish high school even if it comes with exams. Wishing you lots and lots of luck on your exams!
Thank you Brooklyn! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series :)
DeleteThanks for the mention, Emily!
ReplyDeleteMay was definitely a busy month for you. I saw your photos from prom and I just needed to say it again: you looked so pretty! Did you have a great time? I hope so!
In comparison, June is going to be a hectic month for me, since there are a lot of events happening. I hope that I'm still able to find time to read and blog, but seeing how many things happened to you this past month and how you were still able to read six books, I feel inspired! Hahah.
I hope you have a great June! I'm sure everything will work out! :)
Aw thank you, Lais <3 yes, despite being very nervous for the big day, I actually had a really good time :) I hope you're still able to read a bit in June! Good luck with all that you have planned, and I'm sure if I can manage to squeeze in some reading, you can too haha! :)
DeleteYou sound like you've had quite the month! You must be excited to have high school coming to a close end. Awww that sucks that you didn't like Half-Blood. I love that series, but I can admit that it's not for everyone. Jennifer L. Armentrout's books aren't for everyone. Thanks for the shout out! :) Best of luck with your exams! Remember to breathe and that your mental health matters.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sierra! I'm definitely very excited to be almost done lol. Yeah I gotta say, I was hoping for more mythology in the Half-blood series. I wanted more Greek references. But I'm not opposed to tying her other books! Hope you have a good June as well :)
DeleteThis was just a totally blah month for me, but my, yours has certainly been interesting! I'm happy you survived all that, prom especially, since you were so wound up about it! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm happy I did too, Ruzaika! I hope you have a much better June! :) <3
