It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to post ten reviews in one month. But don’t get too excited, many of these were short novellas. Although to be fair, I spend just as much time working on a novella review as I do on a full length novel. But overall, it was a very good month. My two stand-outs were Lone Women and Descendant Machine, followed by two quirky novellas, both provided to me by the authors, Linghun and Pomegranates. Here are the books I read and reviewed this month (click on the titles to read my reviews):
Lone Women by Victor LaValle
Descendant Machine by Gareth L. Powell
Linghun by Ai Jiang
Pomegranates by Priya Sharma
Death Watch by Stona Fitch
Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee
The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill by Rowenna Miller
This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham
The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown
My vote goes – unsurprisingly – to Descendant Machine 😉

Thanks Freda, happy May!
I can’t wait to read Fonda Lee’s new release!
I was so happy to read another book of hers:-)
Great wrap-up this month, Tammy! Which was your top favorite out of Women and Descendant Machine?

That’s a tough one, they are so different! But I guess if I had to pick, Lone Women:-)
I’m really looking forward to checking out Descendant Machine!
It was sooo good!
Ten books, novella or not, is awesome! And they seemed to lean far more heavily towards the good end of the spectrum, which is even better.
Yes, overall I enjoyed almost everything:-)
I was able to finish 14 books in April and amazingly enough, 9 were from the list of 12 books that I had put on my April must-read list. Of course, I am SO behind on writing reviews! I think my May will be mostly review catchup posts which is good because I’ll need the content. Doubt I’ll be able to finish as many books next months since I have no less than 4 books on my to–read list that are 500+ page whoppers.
Me too, I have a couple of 500+ page books:-)
Ten reviews are a lot!! You did an amazing job!!
Thanks Susy:-)
Based on the star ratings it looks like you had a really good reading month! And 10 reviews written in one month is definitely something to be proud of! Good job!
Thanks Celeste:-)
What a fantastic month! The Fairy Bargains book is one that I need to catch up with and your review for that definitely encouraged me to pick it up soon – well, given the books I have this month probably June.

I still have March and April books I didn’t get to, ugh! I need to read faster.
October Animals was one I wanted to read your review of, but from your review it sounds like it wouldn’t have been one for me either. April was a great reading month, hope May is being that way for you as well as we get closer to June!
