Hello & Welcome! Join me for my May reading wrap up as I take you through an entire month of reading in vlog style! In this video, I'm sharing every book I read in May, along with my honest thoughts, ratings, favorite moments, and overall impressions. This reading month was filled with cozy classics, nostalgic mysteries, vintage suspense, magical realism, fairytale-inspired fiction, and women's literature, making for a wonderfully varied reading experience.
In this video, we revisit my reading life throughout May and discuss the books that surprised me, the stories that are new favorites and that left lasting memories. If you enjoy cozy reading, vintage books, classic literature, atmospheric mysteries, cottagecore reading recommendations, and old-fashioned literary adventures, I hope you'll find some new additions for your own reading plans.
