May has been a weird month for me.  I didn’t read a single full length book, but I did manage to watch all 8 seasons of GOT! It was also Wyrd & Wonder so that was a lot of fun! (you can see my wrap up post for that here)

Books I read:

• CatStronauts: Mission Moon (Amazon | Goodreads)
• Origin (Review | Amazon | Goodreads)
• Deadpool Kills Deadpool (Review | Amazon | Goodreads)
• Nimona (Review | Amazon | Goodreads)

Around the Blogosphere:

Last month I only featured two posts, so to make up for it, I have ten this month!!

Leslie @ Books are the New Black had her baby!!!! Everything went well and Mom and Baby are both happy and healthy ❤ Baby Oliver was born May 15th (I think) weighing 6lbs. 9oz and was 20in. long.

Kristen @ Metaphors and Moonlight talks about different types of retellings, and asks which ones you like best.

Jenn @ Jenniely shares some tips and tricks on the best ways to request ARCs from publishers.

Amber @ The Literary Phoenix introduces us to three underused magical creatures with a lot of potential (Phoenixes, Gorgons, & Selkies – Oh My!)

Dani @ Perspective of a Writer shares 5 ways to start easy with bookstagram!

Lisa @ Way Too Fantasy wrote a rambling essay on why she loves Fantasy.

Margaret @ Weird Zeal rated cover changes (and we all know how much I love comparing different covers!)

Cameron @ Cameron Writes wrote a guest post for Lisa @ Dear Geek Place where he talked about his favorite fantasy tropes.  He listed “The Grizzled Old Badass (probably dragged out of retirement)” as a trope, and I love it, and it is now my second favorite trope (right behind enemies to lovers)

Zezee @ Zezee with Books listed her top 5 favorite magical creatures, and her list included cats, which I totally agree with!

Sophie @ Beware of the Reader tries to predict your favorite genre based on your job! Its a super fun post, and you can tell she put a TON of work into it.

Currently Reading:

• Good Omens – 37% of the way done (Amazon | Goodreads)

My goal was to read this last month and have it completed by the time the TV show was released, but I failed miserably, but I should be able to read it this month!

Up Next TBR

• Austentatious: The Evolving World of Jane Austen Fans (NetGalley | Goodreads)

I received a copy of this from NetGalley, so I need to actually get to it sooner rather than later!

I am not going to do a tentative TBR this month, because I haven’t read any books from it in the last two months, so I am not even going to bother!
