May Wrap-Up

12x12 in May was sponsored by the ladies at Page Turners. My personal goal was to read 10 novels including one by Anthony Trollope and one in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga. Well, I exceeded the primary goal, reading 11 books this month.

1. The Double Comfort Safari Club by Alexander McCall Smith—read just for me on my Kindle.
2. Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon—mailed to Lauren in Canada.
3. Hex Marks the Spot by Madelyn Alt—mailed to Lori in Oregon
4. No Rest for the Wiccan by Madelyn Alt—also mailed to Lori
5. Where There's a Witch by Madelyn Alt—mailed to Lori with the other two in this series
6. King's Son, Magic's Son by Josepha Sherman—mailed to Kanaye in Connecticut
7. Blue Diablo by Ann Aguirre—mailed to Cindi in Alabama
8. Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison—another one read just for myself on my Kindle
9. Vanished by Karen Robards—to be mailed to Sandy
10. Silent Thunder by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen—to be mailed to Jud in Arkansas
11. The Road Home by Susan Crandall—to be mailed to Nicole in Germany

I do have to point out, however, that I never even started reading The Eye of the World nor The Warden by Anthony Trollope. In explanation, I really fixated on reading the books that I owe to fellow swappers at BookObsessed. I'm beginning to catch up with the backlog and though I don't think I'll ever reach the point where I can totally avoid playing with TBR books, I'd like to be able to mail them out within a month of the swap or VBB end rather than the current 4-5 months later.
