May Top 5

I had another weird reading month. I didn't think it was that strange, but then I went to look at my list of books read this month and realized that there was definitely something off. A lot of it was good, but not epic good. I'd say this month was pretty mediocre when it came to reading. Except for these five pretties, that were definitely out of control amazing.

1. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
Bitterblue was definitely worth the wait. This book is already long, but my only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. It's always hard to let Kristin Cashore's characters go. But at least you know that they are strong and destined for greatness. Read my review.

2. Insurgent by Veronica Roth
The second book in the Divergent series definitely lived up to my expectations. 

3. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
Definitely watch out for this fall release. Such a crazy but awesome book. The ending was mean, but still. These characters were so fascinating. 

4. Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols
I love love love Such a Rush. Jennifer Echols never fails to write books that look like they'd have nothing to do with me, but seem to be taken directly from my own life.

5. Bitter End by Jennifer Brown
This book broke me down. It's powerful and haunting. I'm still thinking about it. Read my review.
