May Reading Wrap-Up

This was a great month for reading! I finished 12 books this month, as I had a little break from school and work, and I travelled this month, giving me time to read a lot more than I normally would! I was obsessed with historical fiction this month, so a good chunk of my reads were historical fiction, specifically fantasy historical fiction by Judy I Lin. Since I read 3 of her works all in 2 weeks. However, I could not stray far from sci-fi, and I finished up some of my school books, so I had a well-rounded month. The books I read this month were: 

• Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho
• The Organization of Information (4th ed.) by Daniel Joudrey and Arlene Taylor 
• This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman 
• Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (vol. 3) by Haro Aso 
• The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi 
• Redshirts by John Scalzi 
• A Magic Steeped In Poison by Judy I. Lin
• A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur
• A Venom Dark and Sweet by Judy I. Lin
• Song of the Six Realms by Judy I. Lin 
• Beware of Chicken by CausalFarmer 
• A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek

Huge amount of reading, so picking out my favorite was difficult, but in the end, A Crane Among Wolves was my favorite read of this entire month. I am in love with the way June Hur writes her characters and their relationship?? beautiful, gorgeous, heartbreaking, I will never not think about them. I was actually crying over portions of this book. I am on the hunt for a physical copy of this so that I can relive it all over again!

• A Magic Steeped In Poison by Judy I. Lin (4.5 ☆)
• The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi (4.0 ☆)
