May Wrap Up

May!

In May I read 13 books for a total of 3,714 pages and an average of 120 pages per day. My ability to read came back with a vengeance in May and I’m not mad about it.

It’s been my best month of the year and it felt good to be making time for my main passion again. In terms of quality of what I read, this has also been a great month. I at least enjoyed everything I read, if not loved it.
