Its so funny that you are reading the count lol literally just started a book club to get through the intimidating classics, called Tomes before Tombs.
I am absolutely DETERMINED to finish the Daevabad trilogy in May!
I think book 3 was my favourite of that series but it is a long one!
I am determined to finish "The Tainted Cup" and fight the urge to start another re-read with "The Count of Monte Christo". In May I also hope to finish some of the long staying guest on my currently reading list to be able to start June with some bright and shiny and new books. I'm also so excited for the new book club thing, it's such a marvelous idea. Happy reading, Lianne and lots of love to you and Harry and all the babes.
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite books of all time and I love Miss Marple! Looking forward to more of your content 😊
👣 I plan to go slow this month. It helps so much to just let go of those MUST MUST MUST expectations. I will read what I will read.
May is Mental Health month
God knows we need this month yearly.lol
Take care
.
I just love watching your videos! Your energy is unmatched!❤
Raven Boys is such a delightful series.
Back at the end of last year you fully influenced me to pick up Red Rising and wow what a series. I'm currently on Iron Gold ❤
Your re-read of Count of Monte Cristo makes me want to re-read it - I also haven't read it in years but I love it! My first read of May is a Pratchett - I'm on Sourcery in my Discworld (re)read. It's been a few months since I've gotten to a Discworld novel and it's like coming home every time I pick one up.
🦶🦶🦶🦶 Thanks for the great video! My 1st read for May has already begun: it's the 2nd book in the Evenfall Witches B&B Series by Auralee Wallace, When the Crow's Away. And the 2nd read for May will be... The Wee Free Men!!! I love Terry Pratchett and haven't read the Tiffany Aching books yet, so I'm excited to begin. :)
I have so many things I need to finish and have fallen behind on that May is going to be a "catch up and get back on track" month - mostly not reading related. And then you mentioned the Discworld which reminded me that I haven't done my Discworld reread this year at all.
Ah well. First I need to finish the Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. This chunker is really slowing me down, or it's life being in the way of reading. Who knows ;)
Good luck with your reading plans!
The first book on my TBR this month...THE HEXOLOGISTS! 😊
I hope that you will enjoy all the books that you will be Reading.
Take Care & Happy Reading
❤️🤗🔰❤️
Hello Hello! I started reading "Highfire" by Eoin Colfer in April but didn't get far because I was working a lot of OT and simply couldn't summon the energy to read anything on my physical TBR, but I did read a few audiobooks which I am pleased about. So finishing that book is a priority. I am also listening to "On Writing" by Stephen King. I am trying to come up with a way to focus on my book cart and whittle down my physical TBR this summer. Love your bookclub idea!
🏃🏻♂️
My first books were the next instalments in the Falco series, which brings me up to about halfway through that series
I want to see your shirt!! I loved The Count of Monte Cristo!!
Oh my gosh, yes-- I kept hoping to see the bottom of it to know how the phrase finished, but no such luck. 😅
👣 in May I need to read the Royal Assassin as I am behind in the readathon
🐾 May is a catch-up month for me. The first book I've picked up is Royal Assassin (I'm behind with the Fitzalong) I also want to finish Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake, The Edge of Innocence by David Miraldi, Becoming by Michelle Obama and European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman
Good luck with your reading! We love slower months!!
🐾🐾 I think my highest priority reads this month are "The Familiar" by Leigh Bardugo and the revised Bone Season. 🥰
❤📚 Love a smaller tbr. 😊
my brain only binges all 19 books or stops after 1 or 2. I love doing the whole series at once.
First book in May is THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS by Ness Brown, a Sci-Fi novella from Tor
👣 One step at a time is my speed these days, too ❤😊
It isn’t the end of Miss Marple, if you don’t want it to be. I started rereading them after a few years, leaving as big a gap as possible by reading them in order of publication again, and have really enjoyed them. Obviously you would remember whodunnit sooner rather than later, but I find that I have forgotten plenty of other details, so that they are still an entertaining read.
👣 I'm reading The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal and finishing The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi audiobook.
I'm re-reading The Raven Cycle right now and just finished Dream Thieves (MY FAVORITE!). You should definitely read them all. I put a pin in it to read book 3 later though, because I'm co-hosting middle grade May and should read middle grade books :)
I want to re-read this series just for the vibes. Feeling it this fall.
i’m so excited to read Voyage of the Damned by Frances White, and then starting Era 2 of Mistborn. i’m in the middle of my very first audiobook as well (The Half Life of Ruby Fielding by Lydia Kang) and then i’ve got a library book out (True Crime Story by Joseph Knox)
I'm super excited for the new book club format - looking forward to seeing your vlogs too! 👣
The new book club idea sounds amazing 😍 I'm super excited for Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland, it's my most anticipated book of the year 👣
👣 I've been trying to start Pod for 2 months now and it will be the first full read of the month I am sure. I am still reading Mrs. S but I fear I might DNF that one. So I am really looking forward to *_Pod_* and the others at the top of my TBR for May are:
_Tom Lake_
_10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange World_
_The Starless Sea_
_Open Throat_
Where you watching Murder She Wrote. The first episode was based on The Count of Monte Cristo.
My guess is Person of Interest.
🦶🏻 I’m trying to get caught up with my book club’s read through of Eight Bears by Gloria Dickie but after that I think the one I’ll jump to is Startide Rising by David Brin. I read the first in the series over a year ago and keep putting it off even though I loved it. Good luck with your baby steps to a more manageable TBR! I currently have 23 hopefuls on my May list, so I know how it is. 😅❤️
Have a great month
What show kept referencing The Count of Monte Cristo? Because I too love that book!
I'm leaving the running emoji because let's face it, it's the only way I run🏃
👣 Currently reading ‘A Baby’s Bones’ by Rebecca Alexander - the first book in a duology.
It should surprise no one that my first read of May is and will be King Of Sloth by Ana Huang. It released on the 30th of April and im halfway through
👣 great tbr!
That sounds like a good number of books for one month, tbh. 👣
We love being kind to ourselves. ♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely off topic but in your book haul you hauled We Keep The Dead Close which I just finisehd and read and there you said you had more true crime recs? I love a good true crime that examines the culture behind the crimes as it were. In return I rec Savage Appetites by Rachel Monroe which I absolutely TORE through. So fucking good!
the Urge to read a million books my weaken... but never leaves entirely
I picked up the sequel of Emily Wilde. 🐾
👣I'm currently finishing up Florida by Lauren Groff (😑), but the first new book I'm picking up in May is a toss up between Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage or To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. No idea what my mood will be, lol
I'm finishing Powerless by Lauren Roberts first. I got to about 45% into it in April.
Enjoy your Enthusiasm..
You look so good btw
