You’re a library reader too! 🙂 I wonder how many books I’ve checked out from my library through the years. And now that they offer free Kindle versions for checkout, I’m really enjoying it even more. You have lots of good reads in May! Thanks for sharing your list.
You read a few interesting ones to me.. like Neil Simon’s Odd Couple. LOVED the show and never read the book. I should though. You read a lot for May! Happy June!
Oh I like your ratio including the men, I am rather weak at reading male authors! But then no harm to weight it on the women’s side. Looks like you had a really good month too. Nice that you use your library so much, I must get back to mine.
Looks like a nice mix of some newer stuff and some great classics! I’ve never read the strange Case although I’m in the middle of Treasure Island, which somehow I never read.
Great month! I like how you also presented the books you bought and categorized the ones you read in various ways. Thanks for sharing.
A great mix of books. Like the way you record different stats as well – I always find these interesting.
A wonderful variety of books in May! I read the Jekyll/Hyde book along with my kids when they were in high school.
