    I am reading Riches in Niches and enjoying every second of it! I'm at a nice low key spot away from the office for lunch so I can read. Oh and check my Google reader :-)

May Review/June at a Glance

The first half of this month was marked by very little reading. But the second half of the month was all books all the time. Maybe it was all the rain we got that kept me inside and curled up on the couch. I did not read most of the books I had planned on reading during the month but I found some other great ones to get into. And of course, I did not blog like I had hoped so this continues to be a work in progress.  Here is what I read in May: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons  - Kevin Hart ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Into the Water  - Paula Hawkins The Other Half of Happiness  - Ayisha Malik When Dimple Met Rishi - Sandhya Menon Run, Hide, Repeat: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood  - Pauline Dakin ⭐⭐⭐ The Last Neanderthal  - Claire Cameron This is That: Travel Guide to Canada  - This is That Fierce Kingdom  - Gin Phillips June I don’t have much planned in terms of what books I want to read in June. The Child by Fiona Barton is coming out, it is one tha

All The Lives I Want: Essays About My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers - Alana Massey I picked up this book after reading a very short blurb which pretty much included the title and said it was one to read this year. Based on the title I was expecting a lighter commentary
