100 Books a Month Challenge - May

We had a long move this month. We did it all ourselves with the brunt of the work being mine. We were unable to get a moving trailer because it's a busy area of the world for movers and it was such a last minute decision. We also had to prep the apartment to be nicer than when we moved it so that we didn't have to pay any fees so this was a busy month especially adding on all of our activities at home and away. We also had a long weekend vacation away and a virus that went through all of us. So, taking all of this into consideration, we did an amazing job with our reading. Here is our list for May.

Now that my son is with me for the summer, I need to get back into the habit of perusing the children's section at the library. I wonder how many books we can read before September...
