I have been reading, reading, and reading especially since our normal summer activities are not happening this year. This month I read a wide variety and have both a four-star and a five-star review for you. If I get the time, maybe I’ll put out four more book reviews later this month. I hope you find something great to read from my recommendations below.

Reading has saved me during these months of stay-at-home orders. It is something enjoyable that I can do to give myself little breaks during the day. While the girls are watching Disney+, I read. When they go outside to play in the yard, I read. Clearly I have been getting a ton of reading done since we aren’t able to go anywhere. I asked on Instagram (@planningforkeeps if you want to follow!) if I should add more book reviews this month and an overwhelming majority said “yes”. So here they are – four MORE books reviews for May.

This month’s book reviews include a 5-star book! I hope you all are getting as much reading done as I am. This quarantine blows but I am reading so many books being stuck at home. More good news – libraries are now doing curbside pickup. If you are a person who likes to read physical books take advantage and go to your library’s website to find out how you can pick up some new books. Maybe select one from my book reviews down below.

Best Movies to Watch While Pregnant

When pregnant sometimes you need a little laughter to distract you from the constant need to pee, your swollen ankles, and the never-ending weight gain.  These pregnancy movies and movies with babies will definitely make you laugh out loud. The movies on this list will help keep you entertained – that is if you can stay awake long enough to watch them.
