Reading really picked up for me in May! I think I’ve leaned into the escapism, so racing through books has been my go-to. Also 90 Day Fiance, as you will see. I’ve been working through our Women’s Prize Squad Longlist, but now have to wait until holds come in on some books. I may make a TBR post for June, as there are some things I’m certain I’ll be reading! I also got a cat, so please see 100 pictures of her below hehe.

GOD, the block editor. The fact that all posts will convert to that format is frightening me; I’m 99% certain the formatting of posts will be thrown off completely and I am dreading it. Thank you for linking that post of trips and tricks!
