Four New Authors Highlight My May/June Reads

It's Time for a May/June Reading Blitz

Ok so at the being of the year, I set my 2019 Reading Challenge. Last year my challenge was to read 65 books. At the beginning of the year I thought it was an unreachable goal. I reached it! 

So this year I decided to set the goal a little higher. I decided that six books a month might be doable. That makes my goal 72 books. As of this week I am seriously behind the pace I would need to read at to reach my goal. I have only read 19 books so far this year. To be on pace I would need to have read 27 books! Wow! I’m eight books behind. Well, actually 7 and 1/3 because I am 2/3 of the way through James Rollins’ latest Crucible. But I’m still seriously behind!

Today, I took two books back to the library and replaced them with two very short books. So I think it’s time to go on a reading blitz with those two books leading the way!

A while back I downloaded an app to my iPhone called My Reading app. Using the app you can set up a reading plan, add books and keep track of the number of pages you have read. Truth be told I had used it successfully at the end of last year and the being of this year, but, I havenpp’t been using it over the last month!!!

My May/June Planned Reads

So this after new after my trip to the library I have created a plan for the end of this month and the beginning of June. The six books I am going to read are:

 

Crucible - James Rollins

Sigma Force # 14

Wheel of Fire - Hilary Bonner
DI David Vogel #2

Cold, Cold Heart - A.J. Cross

Kate Hanson #5

The Craftsman - Sharon Bolton
The Craftsman # 1

A Beautiful Corpse - Christi Daugherty

Book #2Harper McClain

The Keeper of Lost Causes - Jussi Adler-Olson
Department Q #1

Of the six books the authors of only two of the books are ones that I read regularly. Well actually, I only read Christi Daugherty’s debut novel last month!! I have though been a fan of Rollins’ Sigma force  novels for a long time now!!

So I better end this and get reading don’t you think?  Anyone read any of the above and what did you think?
