May 2016: Month in Review
posted at Wednesday, June 1st, 2016 at 12:50 PM | Month in Review, Other Bloggishness
Blogging: Because of how busy I’ve been, blogging was on the backburner for…a while. Actually, I think in general, blogging isn’t as important to me as it once was, which I think is a good thing. I really don’t worry about my stats or anything like that almost ever anymore. Basically, I’m feeling kind of at peace with everything. Well, all but being behind on review copies, but what’s new?
Book haul:
Shenanigans: It was a very excellent month for shenanigans, since I was in Korea at the start and with Lenore Appelhans at the end!
The boyfriend and I also did some fun things in Atlanta. If you’re a foodie and come to the area, you’ll definitely want to check out Ponce City Market. Also, The Bookhouse Pub, right down the road, is awesome too.
Music:
Movies & TV: Basically all I have done with my life is binge Parks and Recreation. I’m in season 7, which so far is not my favorite, but I’m also so not ready to let these characters go.
Otherwise, I watched a few episodes of Don’t Trust the B with Lenore and The Jungle Book with Sung, which we both found disappointing.

DNFs:
I didn’t read much of No Love Allowed or The Burning Glass, but I just was not into the openings that I read, irritated and bored respectively. Life on the Level I read more of, but I only made it that far because it was laughably bad, but when it wasn’t being that it was boring.
