Where did May go? Like, we&#8217;re half-way through the month and I&#8217;m just getting this out. Let&#8217;s just say the last two weeks of school were a mess (but a good mess) and now the kids and I are finally relaxing into summer time. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s going to mean more reading time, but at least it&#8217;ll be a bit less stress for me.<\/p>\n<p>I finished<a href=\"http:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reading-challenges\/springintolove-bingo\/\">\u00a0SpringIntoLove Bingo<\/a>\u00a0at the very last hour (lol) and had a great time. The organizers are taking a break for the summer, but I&#8217;m definitely hoping they start it up again in the fall. Their bingo prompts are excellent and had me reading so many new-to-me authors and books. For Goodreads, at the start of the month I was at 131 books out of my goal of 250 books, currently 28 books ahead of schedule (I do not foresee this lasting). I&#8217;m already behind on my June reviews though, sooooo. *headdesk*<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">BOOKS READ IN MAY<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"flex-covers\">\n<ul>\n<li><a
