Welcome to my May Wrap Up. I have had a pretty good reading month, finishing 7 books (0 books off my TBR). I also received 2 ARC’s this month, and I continued my new goal of reading 1 Shakespeare play, as well as The Voyage Of The Beagle and The Origin Of Species by Charles Darwin.
I have reviews up or coming up for these books so as usual this is just going to be a brief run down on each book I read.
Without further ado, let’s get into my May Wrap Up:
The World Of David Walliams Book Of Stuff by David Walliams: An entire book about David Walliams’ books? Yes please. I had some genuine laugh out loud moment whilst reading this book and I can see middle grade reading have hours of fun doing all the puzzles and games. A must have for all David Walliams fans.
Come And Play With Us! by Annie Kubler and Caroline Formby: I really enjoyed this sweet little book. I loved the message it is sending and I loved the feeling I got when reading it. This book is a must have for all young children and their families.
Boogie Bear by David Walliams: This book was wonderful I am a huge fan of the amazing collaboration between David Walliams and Tony Ross, so this book was one I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. I loved every single page and I loved the message that was told by this wonderful little book.
All About Eeyore by Andrew Grey: I adored this book. Eeyore is by far my favourite Winnie-the-Pooh character, so to have a book that is all about Eeyore is a dream come true. I loved the stories in this book but I loved the illustrations more. A must have book for all fans of Eeyore.
The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner: I adored this book. I was hooked from the very first page. I loved the story, the characters and the writing. This book touched my soul in a way that I wasn’t expecting. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about this book. I will be re-reading this book many times in the future.
Slime by David Walliams: This book was fantastic. I am a huge fan of David Walliams books so I have high hope for this one, and it didn’t disappoint. I had some genuine laugh out loud moments and I started and finished the book with a massive grin on my face. A must have book for all middle grade readers.
Thomas The Tank Engine: The Classic Collection by The Rev .W. Awdry: This book was absolutely beautiful. Filled with wonderful illustrations that perfectly compliment the wonderful stories. I loved getting to read about Thomas and his friends, it was a real nostalgia read for me. A beautiful book to have on the bookshelf.
Shakespeare: I read 1 Shakespeare play in May. I read the following Shakespeare Play This Month:
Twelfth Night; Or, What You Will
The Origin Of Species by Charles Darwin: I read the following chapters this month:
Chapter 11: Geographical Distribution
Chapter 12: Geographical Distribution – Continued
