Month in Review: May 2011

May was a slow month for me. A lot of school stuff was happening so I didn't get a lot of reading done. I finished all of my AP exams and am now in the midst of taking my finals. But throughout this crazy and hectic month I managed to read eight books. Not very good for em, but better than it could have been. Among those eight four were debuts. 


I reviewed 13 books in May and also introduced a new feature to the blog, Cover War. Below are the books I read this month. 

1. Split by Swati Avasthi 
2. Moonglass by Jessi Kirby 
3. Then I Met My Sister by Christine Hurley Deriso 
4. Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz
5. Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez 
6. What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen 
7. Divergent by Veronica Roth
8. Mercy by Rebecca Lim 

I hope everyone had a good month. Let summer begin and bring with it some good reading!
