May was a busy month for me, and between having a friend staying for a while and my trip to Scotland I didn't get much reading done. But that's okay – I've still read more books than this time last year and I'm still ahead of my 45 books in 2011 challenge. I will be staying home all summer except for 3 days in June when I go to Oslo to see Bon Jovi in concert (wheee!!), so I should have plenty of time to sit in the sun and read. Or more likely sit inside in the rain and read.
Read in MayLinks go to my reviews
20) Serenity: Better Days by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews, Will Conrad – my first graphic novel. I love Firefly.
21) Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory
22) Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz – love this series!
I also posted my review of The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale by Christine Bell.
Incoming Books
I wonder how long I can keep up this 3:1 ratio when it comes to incoming/read books before it has to come to a screeching halt.

I'm impressed that you know your ratio of books read to books bought. I'd be scared to learn mine, though! =P
Linda Goodman's Sun Signs is a book I found very helpful and insightful. Some parts of it might seem a bit dated now, but I'm sure it will still be good to read. =)
