May Books I’m Looking Forward To

Hey all, Sam here.

I am absolutely terrible at TBRs…at least the past handful of years. I used to be really good at sticking to them and reading a lot of books each month. It led to me reading a couple hundred books each year. This was back in 2019 and 2020, but then I reached the point of burnout, probably partly due to the pandemic. And since then I have been struggling to read as much as well as to blog as much.

I’d like to read more, and get back into blogging. I do miss talking about books with more people.

Anyway, let’s look at some of the May books I’m looking forward to, starting with those I’ve been approved for via NetGalley:

The Vengeance by Emma Newman (May 6), A Letter from the Lonesome Shore by Sylvie Cathrall (May 6), Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd by Delilah S Dawson (May 13), A Fate Forged in Fire by Hazel McBride (May 27)

I’ve already read Heir of Strahd and will have the review up very soon, and I’m definitely planning on reading A Fate Forged in Fire pretty soon, so hopefully I’ll be able to have a review for it up before release day as well.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler (May 27), Divine Blessings by K.R. Thompson (May 27), The Violet Raven by E.E. Star (May 27), The Oracle of Dusk by Elyse Thomson (May 28)

There’s a lot of books coming at the end of the month, but I do have a vacation in the middle of the month, so I might be able to get a little extra reading done. That would be nice. While I am ahead on my reading goal, I’m not as far ahead as I normally expect of myself at this point in the year.

Now, okay, that’s just the NetGalley eARCs I have and always hope to read…although I am very behind on my NetGalley reads and really should put a pause on requesting things for awhile. I very much tend to be a mood reader so it can be difficult to plan out my monthly reads, but I do know that I want to continue reading more diverse reads as well as more indie authors.

You’ll see in my April Wrap-Up that I went on a binge-read of an author’s novella series, so in May I’m hoping to check out the first book in a novel series they’ve also released. And then I’ll probably try and read more of the options I posted about in my Indie April to-reads. Hopefully I’ll have a nice May Wrap-Up to talk about next month.

All right, well that is all from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Are there any books you’re looking forward to in May? Let me know in the comments! I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
