I can’t believe it’s already the fifth month of 2017… April passed in the blink of an eye, and somehow I managed to read quite a lot. The #AVAReadathon (A Very ARCish Readathon hosted by Aimal at Bookmarks And Paperbacks) helped me read a LOT of ARCs, with no less than 13 read AND reviewed ARCs in a month (the last one to be published later today). I only managed to read 6 out of the 10 titles on my April TBR though, which was mostly because I decided to pick up different ARCs instead and I wasn’t in the mood for fantasy reads for most of the month.

Even though I made April into an ARC month, somehow my NG ratio dropped to 81% anyway… Oops? So I’ve decided to squeeze in another ARC month in May with the hopes I will be able to get to at least a few of my own books in June. (I know that is probably wishful thinking though) Most of the books on my May TBR are ARCs of a variety of genres, with one exception: the historical fiction novel Lilac Girls which I have been wanting to read for ages now.

You made me even more curious about Roses Of May! You were mixed about The Butterfly Garden as well? I actually didn’t know there was going to be a sequel until I saw it mentioned at NG…

I loved Butterfly Garden but hated the ending. This one I still don’t know how to feel about!

The worst part is that I have more pending ARCs right now than the beginning of last month… I really have to try and stop requesting new titles this month. xD Good luck with your ARCs this month! I’m definitely looking forward to both bookouture titles. Happy reading!
