Happy May, everyone!
It was a slow month when it came to reading but at least I read a couple of great books. This month I’m going to focus on books that are on my currently reading shelf because I have too many on it. I hope this will be the month where I finally finish House of Sky and Breath. I’ve been reading it since February and I’m only 50% in. Wish me luck!

FAVORITE BOOK OF THE MONTH:
The Headsman by Cristina Mîrzoi
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Take a glimpse into the world of a headsman, a gloomy village in which each dweller has a secret: an evil witch, a shrewd florist, a naive young man, a foreign merchant, a dreadful husband, a mischievous maid, and a lustful duke. These stories are intertwined, weaving a dark narrative of love, trickery, brutality, and loss.
Under the bleak aesthetic, raw human emotions unravel themselves in a gripping story about moral decay. In a world that belongs to the wicked, how far can one walk this path while keeping a clean conscience?
The Headsman is a collection of short stories that focus on interconnected characters, sometimes looking at the same event from a different perspective. As a genre, it falls somewhere under dark fiction territory.
Have you read any of these books?
What was your favorite book of the month?
I recently finished Under One Roof and enjoyed it, but didn’t love it as it was just too short. You had a great month of reading!
Under One Roof was such a fun novella, I wish it had been a full-length book. House of Sky and Breath is MASSIVE, good luck with finishing that one – I’m curious to hear your thoughts on it 🙂 Hope you’ll have an amazing May!
Ha, I am going to try to focus on my own shelves this month, too! Happy reading in May!
*try* 😛
I’m really curious to read your reviews of both The Headsman and Eater of the Gods. I fell behind with my April pile so I still need to get to Eater of the Gods, but hopefully soon😁
I’m posting my review of Eater of the Gods tomorrow ^_^
You still did a great job! Hope you get that book done soon! Happy May!
Fingers crossed! 😀
I want to read that one from Ali Hazelwood so bad!!!
I need to read Under One Roof–I loved The Love Hypothesis so stinkin’ much!
I’m intrigued by The Heir and the Enchantress.
Hope you have a good reading month for May.
