May 2022 Wrap-Up @dominishbooks

dominish_books | May 2022 Wrap-Up @dominishbooks | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 59 minutes ago.
This is my reading wrap-up for May 2022 - a mixed bag in terms of ratings but some great books among the five novels and one novella that I read.

I apologise a few times in the video, but I'm sorry that this is not very good, it was filmed at the end of a terrible week but I still wanted to do the wrap up for myself as much as for my viewers and the channel itself.

I didn't actually say in the video, but just to confirm, my wife is now better and is back home (and resting) with us. Thank you for your understanding, and for the many kind wishes that we have had.

I have two bookcases of six shelves each, so some of the filming angles arent the best, and with all the moving around, getting up and down, and unusual speaking positions, the sound fluctuates a little here and there, for which I apologise.
