| MAY READS |
In May I...
- Read 18 books which adds up to 4934 pages
- I listened to 2 audiobooks, read 2 ebooks and 14 physical books!
- I read 13 books by female authors and 5 by male authors
- I read 6 new releases
- I read 8 YA, 1 middle grade, 1 new adult and 8 adult books!
- I read 14 books in Danish and 4 in English
- I read 11 books I'd received for review, 1 of my own, 2 library books and 4 from storytel!
- Had an average rating of 3.53
- DNF'ed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Jane Steele by Lindsay Faye
- Bought 13 books, received 1 from my mom and received 14 for review! Only one of those 14 is in English though - although there's 1 from Hot Key on the way.
- Continued reading both the Wildwitch series by Lene Kaaberbøl and the Calendar Girl series by Audrey Carlan
- Finished 2 series; The Selection by Kiera Cass and Slide by Jill Hathaway
- Technically started a new series, but since I'm unsure whether I want to continue I don't know where to put it. It's the Reaching out of the Shadows by Mannah Pierce.
That was quite the mouthful! I like having these statistics on hand though and I really like sharing them with you!
reading goals
I can't believe I managed to read 18 books this month and there's a chance that I might reach 19 books before the month is over! Because I'm writing this in advance on Monday and I post this wrap up on Tuesday, so I might finish one more book! I'll make a tiny update if that's the case.

It looks unbelievable! I can't believe I managed to read so much in a single month!
My favorite book of the month is the only one with a 5 star rating and that is Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover - I LOVED it! I also really enjoyed Som i et spejl which is a nonfiction book about literature! It was such a joy to read both of those books!
Last month my 'finished series' total was 9 and since I managed to finish 2 series this month I've reached my goal of 10 finished series this year! So that's the first goal reached!
I didn't reread anything or read any classics so I'm still at 2 out of 5 rereads and 5 out of 10 classics!
My YA ratio this month is still quite high but I managed to read just as many adult books so I call it a win! I had so much fun reading this month!
I focused on review books this month, just like I did in April, which is why I only read a single book from my shelf which was Slide by Jill Hathaway.
Once again I forgot about The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin but I'm thinking about starting over and reading 6 months at once.. Maybe I should do that tonight!
blogging goals
I finally got into blogging again! So even though I read a ton I also blogged a ton! I've also written a ton of reviews for my Danish blog and I finally got my blog plan in my bullet journal to work for me. I'm quite proud of myself to be honest and I definitely count May as the best month of the year so far!
On a more personal note
I wanted to talk a bit about what I actually did during May so here it is;

I wanted to talk a bit about what I actually did during May so here it is;
- I went on a date with my boyfriend and I brought my baby brother along! We went to the cinema and watched CIVIL WAR and it was great!
- I went on another date with my boyfriend, this time just us on a lunch date since we'd been together for 3 years and 5 months and we wanted to do something special!
- My boyfriend got picked up by an ambulance and held at the hospital until the day after. It was quite nerve breaking and I'm happy he's okay!
- I began taking zumba classes again and I've definitely missed it!
I'll share the books I got in May soon so look out for that!
