MONTHLY WRAP-UP: GOODBYE TO MAY!

It is that time again!  The end of a month that seems to have flown by, but which brought a number of engaging books to read and review.  Click my titles to see my reviews.

Join Kathryn, at Book Date, in linking up to see what others are sharing in their monthly wrap-ups.

My total was lower than last month’s, but I still feel as though I had a good month.  I had a nice mix of contemporary fiction, nonfiction, psychological thrillers, and literary fiction.  A good month.

What did yours look like?
