I read a total of 9 books this month bringing my total reading challenge up to 44 books out of the 20 I set for my goal! Yay! 

I started May off with a bang with the Peer and the Puppet by BB Reid. Ever, a rich and spoiled boy who always gets what he wants and Four, a girl who grew up with next to nothing- including a name. Ever tries to make Four into his little puppet, someone he can boss around and pull their strings to do whatever he wants, but Four is stubborn, strong willed, and set on taking Ever down for shipping her away. Has Ever finally met his match? If you love Bully romances like I do then you definitely need to pick these books up! 4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐ Review

The first book to kick off my May reads was Bane by LJ Shen. It is a standalone in the Sinners of Saint series, and I absolutely loved it. This book was Pure Shen Gold. I can't wait until it can grace my shelves & join the others because i absolutely loved it, despite my wariness going in. It brought on so many feels. It had great side characters and of course cameos from a few other characters... Plus some great lines. I think i highlighted my whole book.
