2020 READING CHALLENGE | WHAT I'VE READ IN MAY

So it's the last Thursday of May already which means it's time for sharing with you what I have been reading. After my first 2 reads of the month I really struggled with choosing what books to read and even started a few and couldn't get into them.  I did finally get out of that funk though and read another four. Prompts wise for the popsugar reading challenge I've ticked off two out of the six books read.


Darkness Rising By A.A.Dhand 
I picked this as it's a quick read and a thriller. It's the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The detective featured in this quick read is actually in a series of books written by A.A.Dhand. if you love crime/thriller genre than definitely give this a read.



Reasons to stay alive by Matt Haig
I ordered this as I was feeling really depressed and I'm glad I did as it's a must read for anyone who struggles with depression/anxiety.  Even if you don't,  I'd still give this a read as you most likely will know someone who has/had.  I love how honest Matt is with his experience and i found it relatable and inspiring in parts too.


The Art of making memories by Meik Wiking
I used this for the prompt a book with 20 or more letters in the title. Meik Wiking is author of The Little Book of Hygge and The little book of Lykke.  Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this one as much as I hoped. There are some great ideas however but it just wasn't my cup of tea.


Black Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin
I am the star of screaming headlines and campfire ghost stories.
I am one of the four Black-Eyed Susans.
The lucky one.
A gripping and suspenseful physiological thriller  which I throughly enjoyed.


One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus
A YA fiction that's a mystery and a bit of a thriller. I loved it and raced through this book. There is a second book which I want to get my hands on. 



Little Women By Louisa May Alcott 
This is my current read and one I am determined in finishing before the end of May . I am loving the March sisters and their relationship with each other. This is for the prompt a bildungsroman. I actually had to look up the word which means " a novel dealing with one person's formative years or spiritual education".  I have the film that has Emma Watson in to watch once I've finished reading.
