May Reading Round Up 2026

A brown background with a grey table. There is an open book with a quill on it and writing above it says My Month of Reading.

I read 22 books in May, and reviewed 17 of them – one review is due to be posted later this month, and all but three were reviewed. I read across a range of genres and styles, and managed to stay on top of my review books and reading challenges, which is helping me get through a lot of my reading at the moment. Now I am into my June reading and working on filling in challenges where I can.
