Hi, I’m Mo.
In May, I read less books than any other month this year, so far. Is that good? Yes, bc one of my goals this year was to read less. Or at least not read more. Am I on track to read less over all this year? Maybe not.
Something I've noticed this month, while being mindful of reading less, is that towards the end of the month, I tend to calculate how many books I can read to round out the month. I'm thinking "if I finish this this day...", and "if I read this short book...", or "I read this book by this time..." etc... Why? There's not need to calculate the books I can read in the month. I should just let it happen. So I found myself doing that in May and simply stopped. I just read what I read. No reason to stress or rush!!
That all being said, I feel weird about reading an odd number of books in a month??? IS that weird? Who else feels that way?
That didn't stop me from having a great reading month!! I read diversely and found a book that will make my best books of the year. I also solidified a favorite author, I think!
What did you read in May? Did you participate in readathons? What's your favorite Horror Novella?
