The April to May transition was a mess (traveling, COVID isolation), so I'm combining April and May for this wrap-up. I read some great books in the past two months — click the arrows for a short review of each one!
Note: I consider anything 4+ stars a recommendation. Each book is linked to its page on Bookshop.org!
