Sorry for the delay getting up the prompts for May- we're nearly half way through the year which is mind boggling! Let's keep the momentum going and read some great books this month. I only landed on a double color once so there are five prompts.

Spin #1


Spin #2


Spin 3


Spin #4


Spin #5


This month's prompts are pretty clear so I didn't feel the need to add any explanation but I will say that for a book with illustrations I'll likely choose a manga or graphic novel- it doesn't have to be an illustrated novel although it certainly can be.

all the rules are listed on the graphic above I just want to remind everyone to share your TBR's- we love seeing the books you choose for the prompts!

Nat (waterfallz) | 656 comments My TBR for the month:
1- A Prayer for Owen Meany, my parents have been telling me to read this one for ages, so I don't even need to ask
2-The Circus Ship
3- Daisy Jones & The Six (hoping it gets to me in May, I've only been on hold at the library since December)
4- Something is Killing the Children, Vol. 4
5- They Both Die at the End (also on hold for, this one is slightly less likely to get to me than Daisy Jones)

Nat (waterfallz) | 656 comments I finished The Circus Ship for prompt #2 (it may also count for prompt #4, but I am hoping to be caught up on my SiKtC books), also this is a great choice if you fall more on the Nat side of your feelings on circus/carnival themed books than the Summer side, this was cute, short, and had some lovely illustrations, and was not about a circus, but circus animals.

Whelp, a bummer month for the TBR game for me, looks like I owe a book haha. None complete, I'll hope for a better June!

Nat (waterfallz) | 656 comments I managed to also finish Daisy Jones & The Six, but otherwise my TBR was too great a challenge for me this month. We'll see what June has in store for my TBR.
