May 2020 Wrap-Up


Hello everyone! I am back today with my wrap-up for the month of May! I can't believe it's already June and that I'm about to start an online summer course next week. Time has been simultaneously flying and going by at a snail's pace.

May was a pretty alright month. I finished up my junior year of university (I'm now officially a senior and the pressure is setting in) and have worked a lot on my mental and physical wellbeing these past few weeks I've been stuck at home. This included watching a lot of Netflix...oops. That being said, I had a pretty intense reading goal for this month and I didn't even come close to achieving it but I'm happy with that. I never want to force myself to read if I'm not in the mood.

That being said, I read 8 books in May, with some of them being long, and enjoyed all of them. Some I absolutely loved and others I simply liked. There was not a single book that I didn't enjoy which signifies a successful reading month to me! That being said, let's go ahead and dive right in!

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty
This was a fun reread for me. I read this book the first time over a year ago and knew that I definitely needed a refresher before finishing the trilogy. It was so nice to be back with familiar characters in a familiar world. I did struggle a bit at times because I'm so unmotivated because of quarantine and there aren't a lot of high-action scenes, but overall it was an enjoyable reread that I finished in just a few sittings. I loved getting to see these characters again and reorient myself in this world as there were a lot of things I had forgotten.

The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty
I decided to reread the first two books in this trilogy before going onto the third and final one and I'm so glad I did! I forgot how much I loved this book. I knew I loved it but I forgot how much and why. It was honestly such a fun (aka stressful) ride rereading this book and I am so scared for what is going to happen in the third and final book that I'm so blessed to have an early copy of.
