Yikes! What happened to May!! I didn't get nearly as much reading done as I wanted, and I am having to admit that Munchkin is growing up and doesn't really want to read picture books or beginning reader books any more. I also have relied heavily on audio books and library books this month.

January Reading Stats:
I read a total of 19 books this month
2,649 pages read and 2 days, 2 hours and 53 minutes of listening
Resolutions Check in:
1. Borrow More Books: I have been borrowing more books, 3 this month and 2 more holds that have come up now! - CHECK
2. Purchase Less Books: Last year in May I purchased 25 books and this year I purchased 34, YIKES! Talk about blowing it this last month! Time to get back on track. - :(
3. Read Big Books: Sadly I didn't read anything over 500 pages this month, but after last month's big success, I guess I get a pass but time to get back on track. - :(
4. Re-Read More: I didn't re-read anything in May but again, I was focusing a lot on all the new purchases. I do have plans for at least one re-read in June. - :(
5. Put Less Pressure and Stress on Myself: I have been doing really good with this, I have gotten posts up but I have also not let it stress me out too much. I had a little vacation and I did my best to get posts up but it didn't happen but I didn't take time out of my vacation to get them up. - CHECK

I had a really flexible TBR last month and I did a pretty good job on it but I also didn't get much reading done in May. I do still want to have a pretty loose TBR since my mood is really leaning to romance but there are so many fantasy books that keep drawing my eye when I look at my shelves. I also have several requested reviews to catch up on this month. With that in mind I also have company a majority of the month as well as several family events, so we will see what this month holds.
