May Wrap-Up

Hello people! How are you? This month I am not too late with the monthly recap, yay! In May I took part in Wyrd and Wonder, a wonderful and epic event fantasy themed. It was great, even if in the second half of the month my attendance was scarce. But I read a lot of fantasy books and I loved them all (or almost all) and that’s a wonderful thing!

May Reading Stats:
Books read: 13
Ebook: 8
Books: 5
ARCs: 5

In my State of the ARC post I signed just 3 books instead of 5 because I have counted just the fantasy ones, and I don’t know why. I am losing my mind, probably.

5 stars and 4.75 stars

I think that the best reading of the month was Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop, fifth and last volume of The Others series. I loved this series so much and this book is just amazing! My poor feelings this month suffered a lot! But all the other books were awesome! I loved Crooked Kingdom, Kings of the Wyld, Stalking Darkness and The Blade Itself. All of them were wonderful!!!!!

4 stars

Both of them are ARCs and both of them are awesome! I hope to read more books from these authors and I hope to do it soon!

3.5 stars

The first one is an Italian book and I am not a big fan of the author, but this one wasn’t bad, lucky me! Wild Things is an urban fantasy and it’s the 9th volume of The Chicagoland Vampires series. I don’t know how many books there are yet in this series, but I hope not so many! And then there are the only two non-fantasy books of the month. They are ARCs and the author send to me a collection of the first three books in this series. In April I have read the first one and once I have started it I couldn’t stop myself!

3 stars

This one is the 5th book in The Rifter series. I like this author and her world building is really great but… I don’t know if I am still interested in this series, sadly.  I enjoyed the reading but I was expecting more, so I think I would read the next one and decide if keeping on with this series or drop it.

2 stars

This was, sadly, the worst book of the month and it was an ARCs that I received thanks to NetGalley. I had some expectations but I disliked most of the stories.
