    You had a good month. I only managed to read 7 books this month and most of them weren’t great.
    I really need to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I’ve heard almost nothing but great things about this.
    Have a good reading month in May

    *pokes* You should list your average rating of all the books you read! I want to know how your averages compare to mine, because it looks like your ratings are similar…I’m a picky rater! And I so wish I could read 17 books in a month. Right now I’m lucky to get to 7 *sigh* Why aren’t there like, 40 hours in a day or something? So many books, so little time!
    And Days of Blood and Starlight WAS amazing :)

      I’m a picky rater too Jessi! Books that everyone else likes A LOT, I usually don’t like. :l
      My average rating is a 2.912; like whoa. o__o
      That tells me a lot.
      7 books a month isn’t bad, I bet I would read around that amount in May because of finals.
      There should definitely be 40 hours a day! But then, school and work would just be longer. Cruel, cruel world. ):

    You read so many! I only read 13, but Tatum read 17 as well. What do you mean, “only”? 17 is AWESOME :D

    I really need to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone so I can see if I’m one of those who love it or hate it :D

      My goal was 20 something books. Back in high school, I read like 22 books a month, but that’s probably because it was senior year and I was not in college yet, so I wasn’t as busy as I am now.
      Definitely read Daughter of Smoke & Bone Amber! I can’t wait to see what you think of it! (:

    ONLY 17 books!! Ppfff. Shame on you!

    Holy crap women, you are a machine. I think I managed a grand total of like 5 in April. (Actually quite a feat for me since I am a tax accountant and April means 15 hours work days 6 days a week). I am planning to read at least 3 books a week for the month of May…we’ll see how that goes. :-)

    Keep up the awesomeness!!

      MEAGAN, STOP TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF. ):
      If I was you, I’ll die. Seriously. I mean, two kids, two dogs, and a full time job? I’ll hide in the corner, rock back and forth, hug a book, and cry. ):
      But hey, next year in May you’ll be busy grabbing free books and hanging out in NYC! ;D

      I was planning this post ever since the start of April because I know that if I don’t plan it early, I’ll probably forget. :P
      And I can’t wait to see yours Charlie!

      I know! I know fewer than 10 dragon books (not counting the books in the same series twice). It’s so sad. ):

    Great job! You’ve read a good amount of books :D I was doing great at the beginning of April, but then school became crazy busy and I ended up reading a small amount. Oh well, it’s all about having fun right :)

    Happy reading in may!

      Yeah, school always ruins everything. D:< I bet school would ruin what I have planned for May with finals and all that. If only we get graded for reading! And yep, reading is definitely about fun! Happy reading to you too Mel! :D Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Unbreakable – Elizabeth NorrisMy Profile

    Wow, you had an incredible looking month. I was in a little reading rut in April but I think I`m shaking it off now (crosses fingers) Days of Blood & Starlight is a definite highlight of any month, even year LOL ♥ Can`t wait to read your thoughts on the rest of the Fever series :D Thanks for sharing!!

      Good luck with your reading rut Micheline! Sometimes, I feel like I have a reading rut and am looking for the perfect book to snap me out of it.
      I’m planning on reading Bloodfever in May, if I have time to squeeze it in. Hopefully I will because I want to see Barron be a better person, if that’s possible.
      Thanks for stopping by! ;D
