Hello and welcome to my May Read 5, Buy 1 challenge recap and haul. Earlier this month was my birthday and I did a seprate haul, which you can read here: Haul | Birthday 2020 . I am not counting these books towards by challenge because, well I didn’t buy them. Pretty amazing people were kind enough to buy them for me. But, that does not mean I didn’t buy anything for myself. I can never go a month without adding to my TBR myself! Now, on to the breakdown.
The Breakdown
Middlegame by Seanan McGuire
The Magicians Land by Lev Grossman
The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare
Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker
- The Book of Longing by Sue Monk Kidd
Extra Books
After I posted my birthday haul I actually got another book as a present and I was very pleasantly surprised. It was The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold thanks to Reg! I have been interested in this story for as long as it has been out it seems like. Thank you!
So, did break my Read 5, Buy 1, but only by one book. I ended up picking up A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. The reason being is that with this series I always buy the next book in the series when I start reading one. So, I just ordered it without really thinking about it oops.
Overall, I think I did pretty darn good! I only bought one extra book this month for myself and my owned TBR is down to 26 books, which is a great amount and it heading downwards still.
What does your TBR look like?
What books did you recently haul from the library or bookstore?

I’m so in awe of you only have 26 books on your tbr! I have 67 and am hoping to get it down to 30 by the end of the year.

It took a lot of time to get to this number, I always have to stop myself from buying books. 😂 Sixty-Seven is not had at all! You will have a lot of enjoyment ahead of you for sure.
