May Reading List

We're already two weeks into May and I've not got much reading done. I'm currently reading two books. First is Something Fresh by P.G. Wodehouse, part of my April Read-a-thon book choices. The other is The Last Man by Mary Shelley; this book is going really slow and probably why I'm in a reading slump.

I have selected light reads for this month because I don't feel like reading any heavy book this Summer even though some of the heavy reads are books I'm been waiting long to read this year. I made some good purchases this month and one of them is the perfect Summer romance book, so I'm very happy, and I can't wait to begin it.

My May Reading List

Something Fresh by P.G. Wodehouse
I plan to finish Something Fresh this weekend. I'm already more than 50% done and its a nice comic relief book about the adventures involving a heist at Blandings Castle.

The Last Man by Mary Shelley
This is a Gothic post-apocalyptic novel and one of the reasons I picked this up. However, the story just introduces the main protagonists' early and married life in the English countryside. The apocalypse that is brought about through a mysterious plague only begins some 40% into the book. I read this book on my Kindle during my work commute and I'm already some 50% done. I just hope to finish it soon.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
This is the book I'm most looking forward to read this month. I just purchased it and I'm saving it to read the next weekend. I've seen high ratings for this book by other book bloggers. I can't wait to see the movie in June. I haven't read any reviews or seen the trailer yet because I want no spoilers. Hope this book lives up to my expectations!

An R.L. Stine book
For old times' sake! Horror is one of my favourite genres. Even the campy ones. I enjoyed watching the show Scream Queens recently. I had bought two books by R.L. Stine around the time the Goosebumps movie came out, which I haven't had time to read yet. I've not yet decided the book I'll read; maybe both.

I love to reread books and I plan to reread some of my old favourites including a series this year. Maybe I'll begin this month. Now back to reading. =)
