I’m trying to post a wrap up for the end of each month, mainly to help me to keep track of my reading and at the same time look at what I’m intending to read during the month ahead (inspired by Books Bones and Buffy’s What’s on My Plate.

In this post I shall be looking at the reading I completed for May and what I’m hoping to read during June.  Initial thoughts – I may have gone a little overboard with books this forthcoming month.  It’s still doable I think (fingers crossed).

Here’s what I read during May:

1. The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell
2. The Silence Factory by Bridget Collings
3. The House that Horror Built by Christina Henry
4. Moonstone by Laura Purcell
5. The CInderwich by Cherie Priest
6. Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman
7. Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron
8. Hera by Jennifer Saint
9. Elusive by Genevieve Cogman

Again this month I managed to read and review all my requested books so I’m quite happy with that.  I also read another Backlist Book.  I had some really good reads.  If you’re looking for a new Urban Fantasy then check out my thoughts on Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron.  I also really enjoyed The CInderwich by Cherie Priest which was very thought provoking.  I have my new batch of SPFBO books for the 10th year of the competition – and I’ll be taking a look at those shortly.

What I’m hoping to read during June (with links to Goodreads).

1. Small Town Horror by Ronald Malfi
2. The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley
3. The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks
4. We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
5. Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs
6. The Daughters’ War by Christopher Buehlman
7. Two Sides to Every Murder by Danielle Valentine
8. Bitter Waters by Vivian Shaw
9. Storm Child by Michael Robotham

As with last month, I think this should be manageable and hopefully I can still squeeze in a backlist title. 

This month I read two Backlist books Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman and the Malevolent Seven by Sebastien DeCastell.

Bookforager‘s Picture Prompt book bingo

This month I’m ticking another book  off my Picture Prompt bingo card.  The picture with the dog.  I read this month The Malevolent Seven (which also counted as one of my Backlist Books.  If you check out the picture you can see a dog.  And you’ll perhaps notice that there are only six characters in a book with a title about seven characters – yes, the dog is one of the characters.  Not sure if it’s a very good doggo but…
