This Month in Reading - May 2026 Recap


Monthly Reading Total: 10 -
This was a tough reading month.  The weather was terrible which triggered a ton of migraines which tanked my reading.  As well, I've been in a bit of a slump with audio books.  I have a lot of books that are half finished though so I'm hoping June will be a much better month.

Type:

Print: 5

Ebook: 2 

Audio: 3

Genre:

Mystery - 5 

Fiction - 4

Nonfiction - 1 

Favorite Books of the Month:


First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston - This was my favorite audio of the month.  It was a solid 4 star read (probably a 4.25).  I found the plot entertaining and compelling and I really enjoyed the listening experience.

Mrs. Jeffries on the Trail by Emily Brightwell - This was my favorite print book of the month.  It's got a bit of a classic mystery feel and I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of upstairs/downstairs and who knows what.  Also, the mystery was just a solid one.

Rereads:  Only one in May - The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie.  I really enjoyed this one and it's one where I really feel like Christie's enjoyment of the plot and the writing comes through

Monthly Armchair Bookish Travel:


Domestic Travel - I only visited 2 states this month.  I visited Louisiana for the first time this year and had a revisit to New York.

International Travel - This month I only visited England though I did visit 5 times.  

Other than that, I had 2 fantasy books and 1 nonfiction (though that one did take place in England).

How was your reading in May?  Where did your books take you?
