Book Wishlist: May 2017

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already the end of April! I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately—nothing I’ve picked up has really caught my interest, and I can’t decide if it’s the books that are the problem or me. So rather than a review or list of recent recommended reads, I will instead share some books I’m looking forward to that are coming out in May! I’m hoping they will be able to relieve the reading drought.

This series is one of my all-time favorites, and Megan Whalen Turner is a genius. These books are smart, clever, and affecting. They are everything a book should be. If you haven’t read this series yet, you should get on it! It’s always one of the first things I suggest when people ask me for book recommendations. I have been waiting so, so long for this next installment, and I can’t wait to get into it.

Elizabeth Wein is another one of the greats for me. Her books also fit the smart-clever-affecting trifecta mentioned above. I’m so not ready for Julie’s pre-Code Name Verity adventures! But, ready or not, I can’t wait to get into this mystery. (Also, I imagine it will probably make me cry at some point.)

If you feel your energy lagging and need a little inspiration to stay woke, look no further than Bitch Planet! Love-love-loved volume one, and am more than ready for this second outing.

What have you been reading lately? Any book recommendations to get me out of my reading slump? What do you do when nothing you pick up to read holds your interest? Hit the comments and let us know!
