It feels like May was yesterday and also 10 years ago. After all, I am writing this post on the first day of August, so to say time has gotten ~WiGGly~ over here is very true. But just because I’m behind on posting this (the draft has been in the works for over 2 months) doesn’t mean I didn’t have things to say about my May reads!

Notes on May
Closing the month with 28/100 books means I’m still behind the pace, BUT one of those books was my very own! I can’t really say how important this milestone is to me. To be a published author, well it’s what I’ve wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I ugly cried when I opened my first copy. So, while my reading pace might be slow, what I’m reading (and writing) has been truly awesome!
