Friday Fives - May TBR

 


I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. Since this is the first Friday in May, I'm planning my January TBR.  Here are 5 books I plan on reading in May. 


1.  You Can Tell Me by Melinda Leigh - I've been wanting to read this author for ages and this is the beginning of a new series and looks like a fun fast paced read.


2.  Year One by Nora Roberts - I'm going back and reading the Nora Roberts books that I've missed.  She's done a number of trilogies that were a bit more fantasy than appealed to me at the time.  I'm looking forward to giving these a try.


3.  Mrs. Jeffries on the Trail by Emily Brightwell - This is the next book in the Mrs. Jeffries series.  I really loved the most recent books of the series and have been enjoying reading the beginning of the series.  I'm really liking seeing the characters develop.


4.  The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion Vol 1 by Beth Brower - I've heard raves about this book series and I can no longer resist!  


5.  All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriott - I read this book literally decades ago and have been wanting to reread it.  May is my birthday month so this is one of my presents to myself!

What are you hoping to read in May?

  2. Enjoy your reads here! I think I've read that Roberts trilogy, but need to check. I have had a bunch of friends talk about how much they like those Emma Lion books - hope you do too! Have a good weekend!

  3. Year One was a trilogy I skipped because I felt it was too fantasy for me. It could work now I read more fantasy, but will wait to you trial it first! The Emily Brightwell book looks like a good fun mystery type so hope that goes well too.

  4. These look like great picks. I am listening to the Melinda Leigh one now. I have read Year One and I'll be interested to see how you like it.

  7. I found Year One a bit of a shock after having read a number of Roberts other books. I hope you enjoy it:).
