I’m sitting on my patio with birds chirping so we have a sympathy between the two of us. I’m May 30th & I plan on just going with flow this month. That’s my present to myself. I just finished Mrs. ‘Arris goes to Paris and started a Cherry Ames.

[BookLoverAmanda]

Excited you are participating in the Readathon friend!❤❤❤

[CandlewickLibrary]

We love the Blue Castle! You have a great pile of possibilities.

[protagonistspub]

You're welcome Anne, I hope you enjoy it. Have a very happy birthday!!

[BonnieNicoleWrites]

I loved The Blue Castle! I hope you enjoy it too.

[starsbookreviews]

Nice choices! Also Happy early Birthday!

[bethanybringsbooks]

I'm reading Positively Penelope now! I just started.

[miriamelizabethreads]

I also mark books I wanna listen to as favourites on hoopla! It's helpful.

[OldeAmericanSpirit]

What a fun pile of possibilities! You make me feel better about my wayyy too ambitious HUGE May TBR - got to get that video published - can't believe it's May!!!. 🙃🤓

Before the coffee gets cold!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 (its a heavy one btw)

Ohhhh Capt Wentworth's Diary sounds interesting.

Ohhh Emma Lyon!!!

The Blue Castle!!!❤

[protagonistspub]

Penelope definitely qualifies as a Sweet Story!

[AlmasBookJourney]

I've read The Midnight Library and Before The Coffee Gets Cold. Library was interesting with alternate timelines and Coffee was a very different time travel book. I did enjoy them both.

[MsReadsAlot]

The scarlet pimpernickle is on my list to read. I am really good at checking books out from the library and then not reading them 🤷‍♀️

[lindsaylou_lemus]

So many great picks to pick from! I'm reading a Jaime Jo for the heavens to Betsy Prompt too!

[MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

Retelling of Scarlet Pimpernel???? Color me intrigued!

Also, you have the best cover I've seen of Scarlet Pimpernel!

Happy birthday!!!

[bethanybringsbooks]

I've heard good things about the new Tamera Alexander book. I want to read it eventually!

[miriamelizabethreads]

Curious to hear your thoughts on The Blue Castle! It's my favourite LMM. I just bought A Million Little Choices. Not usually into contemporary but I love Tamera Alexander's writing. I've read the first Carnton book and the Christmas novella, but haven't read the second yet - she still has to publish the third in the series which I think she set aside while writing her new release.

[Greta.Anderson]

Sounds like a great stack of books! In May I’m currently reading Rainbow Valley by LM Montgomery, Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, Marmee & Louisa and If You Will Ask by Oswald Chambers. I’d also like to get to the Screwtape Letters and I will be reading Lessons in Chemistry for an in person book club.

[OldeAmericanSpirit]

super sad that Hoopla is not available at this time for my library 🙃

[RyanHReviews]

Happy Birthday Month! I love The Faerie Queene, I always manage to come back to it. Paradise Lost is great too. I enjoyed Othello but there is no shame in finding a Classic just isn't for you. Much Ado About Nothing was a slog for me.
