May was a very solid month of reading, and even though I had one pretty disappointing read, everything else was well worth checking out. I even managed to read a book from my TBR Jar! (Good Bad Girl)
I also participated in Wyrd & Wonder (with thanks to all the hosts!), and surprisingly I managed to read five of the fantasy books on my list. I also posted a few fantasy lists and tags this month, in case you missed them:
Nine Upcoming Romantasies to Add to Your TBR
Twelve Upcoming Cozy Fantasies to Add to Your TBR
May Flowers – Ten Flowery Fantasy Books
Here is what I read/reviewed in May: (click on the titles to read my reviews)

Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo
A Friend Indeed by Elka Ray
Evocation by S.T. Gibson
The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry
The Case of the Bleeding Wall by Kasey Lansdale & Joe R. Lansdale
Great Wrap-Up, Tammy! You read some really great books this month. My favorite of May was Evocation. Thanks for sharing! 😀
It looks like you had a fantastic reading month. The only read we have in common is Luminous Deep but at least we both loved it. I need to check out a few of the others. My favourite read of the month was Babylonia which is out next month. I loved the authors debut but somehow this one was even better
It’s been a pretty great month! Wyrd & Wonder is always a lot of fun.
Congrats on a great reading month and W&W!
I need to get my hands on the rest of the Singing Hills Cycle books!

You had some great reading here. I will probably finish another book today so I can never do my wrap ups this early.

I loved Luminous Deep. The Brides of High Hill veered into horror, which is not a genre I enjoy, so I respected rather than liked that one. I’m working on Lake of Souls, a collection of stories by Ann Leckie; some I like better than others.
I have four favorites! The Familiar, Darling Girls, The Reappearance of Rachel Price and That’s Not my Name!
I can’t believe I missed this whole event. I can’t believe it’s the end of May. Did somebody press ‘fast forward’.
You had a blast. Some good books here.

I purchased The Silverblood Promise in audiobook form. Can’t wait to try it.
Seems like May was good despite the disappointing read. I almost bought Evocation today. The hardcover is so pretty.
It’s too bad about that 1 disappointing read, but hooray for everything else being at least decent or even very good! I personally had pretty mixed feelings about most of the books I read this month (none of which were SF/F, anyway.) I hope your reading for June is just as or even more successful 🙂
I am definitely up to rejoining Wyrd & Wonder next year:)). As I’ve still got a LOT going on here, I’ve decided to take it really easy with the blog and just enjoy entirely pressure-free reading. I also loved Luminous Deep – and I also had a slew of other 10/10 during May, which a golden reading month for me. Here’s hoping June is a good one!
1 disappointing out of 9, that’s very good.
