I have a very distinct feeling DJ Jamison is going to be near the top of or at the top of my most read authors list this year. Iโ€™m obsessed and I canโ€™t stop.

Out of the 58 books Iโ€™ve read so far, 9 of them belong to her, with 2 more for sure this month.

Iโ€™m actually super proud of myself for having made my way through 4 of the books on my stack. Iโ€™m working on my 5th and I hope to get to 1 more before the end of June.

I will consider that a win since I will have finished I think 10 books off my physical TBR for the quarter and I canโ€™t remember the last time that happened.

I secretly have a goal to have a stack of physical books taller than me Iโ€™ve finished from my shelves by the end of the year. I seriously doubt Iโ€™ll make it but it will be fun trying.

QOTD - are you a strict TBRโ€™er or do you go with the flow?

AOTD - I like to give myself challenges to try and motivate myself.

I am excited to pick up Blood and Roses! It will be my first Callie Hart book. I do have a few others on my TBR but โ€ฆ..my TBR is large as f**k.

Maybe this will push those others up my stack.

I spent May getting caught up on some of my 2nd quarter TBR reads.

I re-read God of Malice by Rina Kent for my first IRL bookclub at

I discovered a new author to me; Cambria Hebert with The Hazard and the Hitman and now I cannot wait for the next one in the series The Geek & The Ghost.

Went on a binge of AJ Truman books.

Iโ€™ve had Flagrant Foul by Jesse H Reign on my list FOREVER, and Iโ€™m glad I prioritized it this month.

Took a trip to The Black Diamond Resort for a surprise reunion between a goalie and a p**n star in Splintered by Isabel Lucero. Iโ€™m looking forward to more books in this series as well.

My final read was Bad Dogs by Riley Nash, I am going to have to wrap up the series in June.

Finished 10 books
1 ebook
4 physical
5 audio

Starting June with The Crush by Ren Browne.

My favorite book of May was The Hazard and the Hitman and my re-read of God of Malice by Rina Kent.

TW - Mental Health

Iโ€™ve been doing so well not letting anxiety take over. Untilโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s been a struggle for months and Iโ€™m at that point, where do I draw the line between myself and the feelings of others?

I internalize EVERYTHING. Itโ€™s a core piece of my mental DNA. This is the s**t, the muck, the gross feelings. I donโ€™t want to be a burden, I donโ€™t want to add to someone else, I can handle it on my own.

Sometimes all it takes is saying the bad things out loud. Itโ€™s ok not to be ok.

You arenโ€™t alone. I see you, I feel you, I am you.
