Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments Signed up! I've selected a few books that I definitely am going to read, because they're already borrowed on Hoopla or Libby and return within the first 2 weeks of June, and then I took last year's and removed anything I've read since then and will focus on them again! But now looking at it, I think I just want to focus on a couple series; Artemis Fowl, Wayfarers, and Monster. And I'll leave the rest up for inspo.

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments I usually wait till the end of the day or the next day for a halfway point check-in but I finished the books I was currently reading last night so now's a good a time as any!

Read
The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, #6) by Eoin Colfer Why on Earth by Vania Stoyanova The Artemis Fowl Files by Eoin Colfer The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1) by Becky Chambers A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers, #2) by Becky Chambers
Listened

Orbital by Samantha Harvey Nova by Samuel R. Delany Monster (Monster, #1) by Michael Grant Villain (Monster, #2) by Michael Grant Hero (Monster, #3) by Michael Grant
So today I am starting 3 books: Record of a Spaceborn Few (Wayfarers, #3) by Becky Chambers A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas Lightspeed Year One by John Joseph Adams . ACOWAR is a buddy read to go through the end of the month. I have all 3 formats of ACOWAR and ROASF so it'll be easy to continuously read them. Lightspeed is a chonky paperback but since I didn't get the short stories I wanted from Why On Earth (it was an anthology but a continuous story with each chapter from a different author instead), I'm excited to read a short story or two a day.
