Monthly Summary - May 2015

May was a great month for reading, I read 9 books which I am very happy about. This has taken my total to 24 books so far this year. My favourite book this month was Wallbanger by Alice Clayton. I have not read anything so funny in a long, long time.

My TBR is sitting at 251 books. I had a clear out and got rid of a good few books that I will most likely never read. I don't even know why I put them there in the first place.

Apart from working both my jobs, I didn't really have much on. Although I did go to a friend's 18th and I didn't no anyone apart from her (and her mum). I ended up sitting next to a bunch of her other friends and I have never felt older in my life - they were all in school and here's me out of university for a year.

I also got my butt into gear and started going to the gym with my sister-in-law. She also dragged me along to a Circuit Class last week and Oh My Gosh! the pain I was in for the rest of the week was unreal. However, I'm determined to get my fitness levels up.

Books I have read this month:

Goodread First Reads:


LibraryThing Early Reviews:
The Finish: The Progress of a Murder Uncovered (Venus Squared Book 1)

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
