Girl at War and Men We Reaped are the two I wanted to know about the most - and they were your faves! Noted! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, definitely get your hands on both of those! :D
Deletesounds like a great month. I read so many great books in May, it was really hard to pick up 2 favorites. you can see them here: http://wordsandpeace.com/2015/06/02/2015-may-wrap-up/
ReplyDeleteIt was a good one. I'm very happy with everything that I read :D
DeleteNimona. Love. The Shore. Gonna love.
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes you will! I nearly guarantee it. Nimona was fab, I want MORE.
DeleteThe Shore is on my to-read list! You did good though for books! Happy June reading!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really enjoy it :D Thanks so much and same to you!
DeleteI've treated myself to Girl at War for my upcoming trip to Croatia as there have been so many stunning reviews. I can't wait to read it. I also like the look of that non-fiction selection...
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that will be a great book for you then! I think you'll really like it. I'll look forward to hearing what you think ;)
DeleteI'm so glad you had a great reading month, Jen! You and the other Socratic Salon gals have really gotten me interested in both The Shore and Girl at War - GAH! Y'all are killing me! There are so many books!
ReplyDeleteOur evil plan is working! Muahahahahaha! :D
DeleteFirst of all...love your flashing graphics! I'm impressed! Glad you had a great reading month! The Shore was a good one for me as well in May....and I read Boo in May, but it didn't really do it for me. Looking forward to reading Girl at War before the year is out.
ReplyDeleteI loved parts of Boo but there were parts that didn't work for me as well. I have mixed feelings! I think we *might* chat about it on The Socratic Salon. That always helps me work through my thoughts.
DeleteI've had my eye on The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and The Men We Reaped.
ReplyDeleteLife Changing Magic is excellent! I'm planning on putting her ideas into practice very soon :D
DeleteI really want to read Girl at War :)
ReplyDeleteIt's an excellent read, Natalie :D I promise!
DeleteI loved Girl at War too.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike ;)
DeleteI NEED NIMONA.
ReplyDeleteYou do!! It was a hoot!
DeleteLove when I can look back and find that the entire month has been a good one.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Lisa! It was definitely a good one :D
