May 2026 Wrap Up--
May was such a varied reading month for me. I read Hockey Romance, SciFi new release, Romance new release, Murder Mystery in a Fantasy setting, an action Thriller I guess you could call it, and so many fun ARCs. It felt like the month of May was just the start of something fun because now all of my preorders are starting to come in, all the ARCs I've been anticipating reader were finally up on the docket. I've been trying to keep a running total of how much money the library is saving me per month and at the end of the year we'll find out if having a library card is worth it (Hint: it is) so my monthly total and running yearly total will be at the end of the post.
