I have a lot of emotions about our country right now. Just thinking about legislatively what has gone down (and what hasn’t) since January is A LOT to handle. When I’m stressed, sad, and angry I turn to books to calm down. Reading before bed is the only way I am able to turn my brain off from current events. But selecting the right book at the right time is important for your mental health too. Here are my four book reviews for the month of May. I hope you find something to help you momentarily escape reality.

I never got around to writing up my March book reviews (that’s never happened before!). Life seems extra busy right now even though it’s really not. Maybe during the pandemic I just forgot how to multi-task? Anyway, I have a ton of reviews backlogged so it’s a possibility I can write two April book recommendations blog posts if I can get caught up on my to-do list. Here’s part one;

I think you should be proud of me because I read some books this month out of my typical genres. One surprised me with how much I liked it. If you read the whole blog post you’ll see that I really gave you five book reviews this month. Happy reading!
