The Sunday Post

 Happy Sunday! I hope everyone’s having a good weekend!

The Sunday Post is a news meme created by CaffeinatedReviewer. I'm also linking up with Sunday Salon at ReaderBuzz. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me.

The weather in May was as weird as the weather in April. Hot then cold, dry then rainy. Sometimes all of the above on the same day. I couldn’t figure out if I should wear long sleeves or short. My butterfly/hummingbird garden has started to grow and I planted some annuals for filler; I think we’re well past the point of frost at the very least. It’s probably warm enough for me to store away my long-underwear too.

I’m super excited that I’ve had so much time this year to read some great stories. Last year I struggled, but this year I’m finding little pockets of time here and there. My GoodReads Challenge was to read at least 15 and so far, I’ve read 8. I’m more than halfway through! My goal for the Speccy Fiction Challenge was to read 6 books off the list and I achieved that... But now I want to read one from the remaining 6 categories.

In the month of May I reviewed the following:

• The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
• The Writing in the Water by John Ajvide Lindqvist
• Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

I just finished reading The Oracle of Maracoor by Gregory Maguire. I'm taking vacation at the end of June and I'm hoping to spend that time on the beach with my books one of which will be The Witch of Maracoor.

I did something in May, I almost never do: I posted a bookish post that was neither a review nor a meme and came to the realization that I should do it more often. So I’m going to make it a blogging goal to post more book related non-reviews this year. I’m not sure how well I’ll do, I’m not sure I’m creative enough to keep it up for very long, but I’d like to invest some time into posts that are more my own.

And I think that’s all the news I have this weekend, and I hope all of you have a great June!
