I had\u2026 mixed feelings on it. I was really surprised actually. After the addictive drama of <em>Fourth Wing<\/em>, ACOTAR was a slower experience. Very much more in the fairytale area, it wasn\u2019t what I was expecting.<\/p>\n<p><em>Conclave<\/em> was a last minute audiobook choice when I was on holiday \u2013 inspired by the actual conclave that was happening at the time to elect the now <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pope_Leo_XIV\">Pope Leo XIV<\/a>. It\u2019s my first read by Robert Harris and I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p>Then I rounded off the month with 2 contemporary fiction reads \u2013 <em>Piglet<\/em> and <em>I Want to Go Home but I\u2019m Already There<\/em> \u2013 both had female lead characters in their 20s, trying to figure out moments in their life. I enjoy these kind of books, and while these aren\u2019t my favourites in the genre, they keep me reading and both brought interesting ideas to the table.<\/p>\n<p>Until next month, happy reading!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-meta --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May was a slower paced reading month for me, just taking things gently and not worrying about how many reviews I\u2019m going to get up per month.
