Holly Reads Too Much

May 2025 Reading Recap


22 (all audiobooks) for May, which is good. Favorite of the month: The Shining. Least favorite of the month: The Other People. That one should have been right up my alley but for some reason it didn’t land for me. I was very lucky with the library holds this month, so half of the books were published very recently.

I started 2 series that I’m planning on finishing as soon as I can get them from the library: The Murderbot Diaries and John Corey detective books.

I liked The Shining so much I’m considering trying to read a couple of Kings each month. I will be reading some anyways for Secret Stuff Book Club.
