The Little Things
July 7, 2016

After a slow March and April for reading due to work, I’m officially into my summer season which means more time for reading fun! I’ve read so much in May and June that I am going to have to separate the months. I also meant to post this particular post before my trip over the 4th of July, but forgot. Oops!

Book List May 2016

The Matchmaker: I love Elin Hilderbrand books in the summer, so I kicked the month of May off with this book. It was one of my least favorite books of hers I’ve read so far. Meh.

The Siren: I’ve loved the Selection Series by Kiera Cass, so when I found this book, also by her, I was excited. While I didn’t love it as much as The Selection Series, I really enjoyed this book. The book follows a group of girls who are Sirens, and I enjoyed their storylines!

Fairest: Levana’s Story: While I finished the Lunar Chronicles back in April, I was looking forward to reading this spin off story of one of the characters!

The Beach Club: While I’m on vacation, I really reading a beach-themed book, and The Beach Club was a perfect book for vacation! This book takes place at a hotel on Nantucket.

Chat Love:  I received a copy of this book on Kindle for free from the author. This book was very “Sex and the City-esque”, and it was a fun and easy read.

The Passenger: This book is about a woman on the run who is consistently changing up her identity as she runs around the U.S. This book was different than ones I typically read, but after having multiple people recommend the book to me, I decided to give it a shot. It’s worth the read!

The Crown: This was the 5th book in the Selection Series, and just came out recently. I loved the conclusion to this series I’ve enjoyed so much! If you haven’t read the series yet, check it out!

When Breath Becomes Air: I wrote a post all about When Breath Becomes Air here. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve read lately!

Mountain Vision: Lessons Beyond the Summit: A book about one man’s journey to climbing Everest, filled with leadership lessons. Fairly cheesy at points, but the parts about climbing were interesting. It was a really quick read.

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less: I really enjoyed this book! Again, it wasn’t a long read at all, but it held a lot of great lessons in it. I found that I kept snapping pictures on my phone of various paragraphs in the book.

The Wanderer (Thunder Point #1): My cousin read this book recently on a trip, and suggested I give it a try. This is book one of nine in a series on a quaint little coastal town in Oregon. I really enjoyed it, and it hooked me- I’m still reading the series!

So, those are the books I enjoyed in May! None of these books felt like I had to really struggle through them except for The Matchmaker. If you’re looking for other books I’ve read this year, check out my January Book list, February Book list, and my March and April Book list.
