a month of reading: MAY 2025
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a lovely and restful weekend! π Iβm a little late to the party, but hereβs my May reading recap:
β¨ I read some really great books this month, but my top 3 reads were: As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh, I Hope This Doesnβt Find You by Ann Liang, and Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano. Highly recommend all three if you havenβt read them yet!
β¨ I finished 10 books in May, bringing me to just 10 books away from hitting my reading goal of 60 for the year! Iβm seriously considering bumping my goal up to 100 π€
β¨ Five months in, and Iβm honestly proud of how consistent Iβve been with my reading habit. In past years, Iβd usually lose momentum after January and barely read anything until mid-year only to panic when I realized I wasnβt making any progress in my reading goal π€¦π»ββοΈ I guess, having a bookstagram has really helped keep me accountable and inspired.
