My list of planned reads for the month of May will be very small and unambitious lol. I’ve only been back at uni for 2 weeks but I already have 2 books to read, 3 essays and many more assignments to write. And I just don’t believe that I will get that much reading done. And if I do, I don’t want to constrict myself to a TBR! 😀
A Court of Wings and Ruin – Sarah J. Maas
Alright, it’s actually kind of convenient that my copy won’t be here until Tuesday because I have to read another book for uni until Monday! But once I’ve read that I can fully indulge in the feels that ACOWAR will be giving me! *heart eyes*
That being said, I will probably have to avoid social media all week! I’ve partly been spoiled for the first two books in the trilogy and I just really want to get into the third book blind! So that means no Twitter and Goodreads for me this week 😦
ALSO IF YOU PLAN TO TALK ABOUT ACOWAR IN ANY OF YOUR POSTS IT’D BE REALLY NICE IF YOU MENTIONED THAT SOMEWHERE SO I DON’T ACCIDENTALLY SPOIL MYSELF THANKSSS 🙂 ❤
A Classic a month
As you may or may not know, I am trying (and failing) to read one classic every month! This month, my choice has been made for me since I have to read both The Picture of Dorian Gray, which I’ve actually been wanting to read for a while, and The Jungle Books for class! I’ll be writing quizzes on both of these sooooo yeah :’)
I’ll keep the rest of the month open – I still have a few books from Netgalley to read and review this month and I’ll just see if I will be able to find the time to read other books inbetween assignments and essays!
Thank you for reading!

THEY’RE NOT ON THIS LIST BECAUSE…. usually if I tell myself to read something I DON’T END UP READING IT! So I won’t tell myself to read SOC and SIMON VS this time and maybe it’ll work and I’ll pick it up!!! 😀 😀
And same to be honest, I have so many classics on my shelves but do I really want to read them and struggle with the language??? Not really! 😀

Same thing with me and classics! But the ones I have read were amazing. I recommend The Outsiders if you feel the need to read classics, it’s not hard to read at all and it’s a really short book.

Ah yay, thanks for the rec! I’ll make sure to check that out! I tend to struggle with the language a lot and that’s the reason why I get distracted so easily when reading classics 😛

I really enjoy Jane Austen’s classics even though I often struggle with the language! But I know what you mean – I have loads of classics on my shelf but they don’t really interest me that much and I’d rather pick up a YA book! 😀

A Court of Wings and Ruin just came out and that is basically the end of the trilogy! So you can read it now! There will be 3 more books but I believe they will be from a different character’s POV!
