Hello friends, and welcome or welcome back to the blog!
Quote for today
“Books are the mirrors of the soul.”― Virginia Woolf
How are you today? I hope you are staying productive, reading a good book, getting plenty of water and rest, and finding some peace in these chaotic times.
May was May, and now it’s June. I don’t want to rush time, but before you know it, it’ll be September. Ok, enough of that. I loathe the heat (or extreme temps), but I want to enjoy this blissful, quiet Summer. YES! I’m putting out quiet, low-key Summer vibes. One blessing is that it’s not hot (yet), so I’m grateful.
I’m actually within the timespan for this post so I’m getting my shit together (really I am). I can only do what I have the energy for because (ya know) I’m human, but I always feel like I want to give you the content while it’s fresh in my brain and timely. With that, here’s everything that happened in May.

May in Books
So many books, so little time (Frank Zappa)
May was a good month for books. I felt like I got through a good bit.
