May 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, What I’m Loving Right Now
Wow, what an epic month for reading. May was my last full month of maternity leave, and fittingly, it was probably my best month for total books read in a long time. We’ve had an incredibly rainy Spring, which is likely why I’ve managed to get through so many books lately. Baby girl and I…
