Friends, I read thirteen books in May. Thirteen! I can’t remember the last time I read so much and even though a big portion of it was manga, I’m still going to celebrate. I still haven’t shaken off my fantasy slump, but have a couple of SFF reads that I am eyeing for my TBR for Pride Month (should go up in the next day or two). I decided to take it easy this May in terms of blogging, so I didn’t post much. That should change in June as I did manage to come up with a variety of ideas to close out the first half of the year. The first half of the year! I am kind of terrified by the fact that the year is going this fast. Make it stop.
If you are able, friends, consider donating to the victims of the Buffalo shooting here and Uvalde here.
Favorite Book This Month:
This is a really hard question for this month’s reads. I read a lot of good books and could probably have picked a couple of others for this spot, but in the end, I am going with A Pho Love Story by Loan Le. This was a nearly perfect YA romance and if you are looking for a great summer read, I would highly recommend it. Cover linked to Goodreads.

What I Watched/Am Watching:
Spy x Family – I wanted to read more volumes of the manga before diving into the anime, so I am not too far into this one. I am adoring it so far. Apart from this, I am kind of stuck in a rut when it comes to shows. I haven’t really gotten deep into anything, but have watched a lot of first episodes. Still searching for what will become my next obsession.
