I ended up reading 8 novellas, 5 full length novels, and a few children's books this month. I don't usually count the children's books when I do these updates, but this time I'm including 2 of them because I liked them so much. I also started a book that I haven't finished it yet. I wasn't able to squeeze in all the books I wanted to read this month, but I got through most of them. I had to push Blindside by Michael Mammay, An Ordinary Sort of Evil by Kelley Armstrong, and No Good Deed by B.E. Baker to June. The buddy read of The Soulforge by Margaret Weis ended up not getting scheduled this month, so I'll wait and see what happens with that one.
I started the month out with a reread (in chronological order) of The Murderbot Diaries, and listened to the first four while simultaneously eye reading a couple of other books. After that, I paused Murderbot for a while to completely focus on The Strength of the Few. I wanted to get that one read before book club since it's the sequel to our book club book. All but one of my ratings stayed the same for the Murderbot books after rereading them.

I enjoyed this cute cozy mystery set in New Zealand. It was a nice, light novella and the main character was very likable.
I don't usually talk about the children's books that I buy and read. We have a couple of grandchildren and I've been reading and buying them lately. I own quite a few books by Eric Carle but this month I bought and read two of his books that I had never read before. I ended up loving these two books. I love that there are poems about each of the creatures and animals featured in them, and I'm personally a fan of Eric Carle's art in all of his books so, I loved that too.
Dragons, Dragons & Other Creatures That Never Were by Eric Carle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
