Monthly Update – May 2013

addressrss

May
May is normally the time I take a week off from work, whether or not I have any major plans for the time (I normally don’t). I got some quality reading time in this year, even though I took my time reading The Witch from the Sea. I could have gotten one more book read, but I decided to join the next round of Bookshelf Bingo (hosted by a different group on Goodreads then the Seasonal Reading Challenge).  I put it aside to use it for the game, should I need it.

Because of my new plans for the upcoming months, I posted The Summer Reading List without any “potential reads”. I still plan to read the books listed for each month, though the fantasy/paranormal books may end up read in a different month than the one it’s currently listed for — it will all depend on what shelves are called during the month. Heart of Obsidian will be read as soon as I get it. If I want to avoid being spoiled, I cannot put that book off.

I updated the reading schedule for the Daughters of England. I hope Bingo wont put me behind. If it does, I’ll have to double up somewhere. I don’t want to go into 2015 with this!

Looking ahead to June: The only two Spotlights I’m planning to do this month is the monthly Daughter of England feature and the one I should have posted in the last week of May (I had 5 planned for May and only posted 4).  This is primarily due to Bingo.  If I have time, I’ll draft up some for July or to post when Bingo is over.  I probably post more Notes On…/Reviews — reviews are required to claim the Bingo square.
