142: May Books

May was a busy reading month filled with a few highlights, some disappointments, and plenty to discuss. In this episode, I'm breaking down every book I finished, sharing what stood out, what fell flat, and which stories are still lingering in my mind. I kept things as spoiler-free as possible but did warn you that I talk more about the plot issues I had in Life, and Death, and Giants, but I warn you! Hope you had a wonderful month and I can't wait to see what we read in June!
