Magic Study by Maria V Snyder 4.5/5 - Reread
This is the second book in the Chronicles of Ixia series, and was a reread for me. I don't reread very often but it was worth it! I did review this (kind of) back in 2007 when I read it the first time.
Postmistress by Alison Stuart 4.5/5 - Australian Author
I have owned books by this author for years and I finally read one! And I am going to be reading another very soon! (Review here)
Tessa Dare's books are always fun and this was no exception. Now I need to wait for the next book in the series to come out.
The Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan 4/5 Audiobook
I was listening to The Good Turn and decided to go for something a bit lighter. I do admire the way that that Jenny Colgan gives you a lighter story but still covers off on quite difficult subjects.
Fire Study by Maria V Snyder 4.5/5
Book number three in the Chronicles of Ixia series. The next book moves away from focusing on Yelena and Valek so it will be interesting to see how the next book compares to this original trilogy.
The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan 4.5/5 Australian Author
This series is so good, and in this book some of the subplots that have been part of the atmosphere come to a head and so it will be very interesting to see what happens next.
The Railway Girls by Maisie Thomas 4.5/5
My first blog tour in a very long time! (Review here)
Some great reads for the month. I love Jenny Colgan for the light read yet thoughtful read all the same. Just finished an older one of hers on audio.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good description of Jenny Colgan's writing.

ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good month Fredamans!
DeleteWhat a good reading month with lots of well-rated books! Here's wishing June brings more good books! And, yes, surprisingly even though we are locked inside the month still seemed like it flew by.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty good month Iliana!
DeleteA good month for you, a lot of your books interest me especially the Maria Snyder series.
ReplyDeleteThey Snyder books are good Cath!
DeleteI simply love Jenny Colgan's books. I've read a number and you're right, they're not too "frothy." I need to read another soon.
ReplyDeleteThere's a new one out in the last few days Judith!
DeleteI feel about May exactly as you do. Not sure where it went and it just zipped by. So did April. I think January was the only month that felt like 3 months.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I can remember January Athira!
DeleteThe Bookshop On The Shore sounds VERY much like something I want to read at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the Colgan books I have read Bree.
DeleteSo many great reads in May! I am glad you enjoyed your reading. I am eager to read The Bookshop on the Corner. And Railway Girls sounds like something I would enjoy was well. I hope June will be a great reading month for you!
ReplyDeleteJenny Colgan is a good read!
DeleteExcellent reading choices! I have been most surprised in how fast time still flies by even under stay-at-home orders, but all the usual housework and yard work still needs to be done and I've been reading and exercising more, so my time is filled.
