My May 2025 Reads

It’s June 1st and time to share what I read in May! I read five books, four on audio and one in paperback.

Here are the books in the order that I finished them:

The Payback Girls by Alex Travis- Audio- 3 stars
The Humans by Matt Haig- Audio- 3.5 stars
Something I Keep Upstairs by J.D. Barker-Audio- 4 stars
The Murder Machine by Heather Graham- Audio- 3 stars
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera- Paperback- 5 stars

My ‘favorite read’ was They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera.  This was my first time actually reading it, the previous two times I read it, I listened to the audiobook version. The third book in the series was recently released, and I just had to read the other two again (Plus the short stories that Silvera has written that are in special editions of the books! And reviews come for those as well!) This series is one of my favorite books!  We won’t talk about how many editions I have of the newest book….. Hey, I admit it: I NEEDED those special editions! 

My ‘least favorite’ read was The Payback Girls.  It had an interesting premise but was just too “YA” for me.  (Too much drama…) I do like the cover!

I did also have a DNF (Did Not Finish) for May: It was a book I had read years ago for a book club that I was trying to read again:  Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire. I stopped at  page 163 of 368. I tried for months to read it and finally DNF’d it.


What did YOU read in May? 
Let’s see how my June reading goes!
