May felt like a pretty good reading month, so I’m hoping it was a good month for my reading challenges too. I’m excited to take a look at my progress!

Monthly Motif is a reading challenge hosted by girlxoxo.
May’s theme was one sitting reads and I read a few books for this prompt:
- Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- Bloom by Kevin Panetta
- Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable
- The Senses by Matteo Farinella
- Gothic Tales of Haunted Love by Hope Nicholson & S.M. Beiko
June’s theme is diversify your reading. I have a ton of diverse books on my TBR but please feel free to recommend some to me!

I read a total of 16 books in May, which puts me 26 books ahead of my goal.

Popsugar hosts a reading challenge every year. You can find out more information on their website.
I was surprised to find out that I didn’t read any books toward my Popsugar challenge in May! I’ll have to try to read some in June!

Romanceopoly is a reading challenge hosted by Under the Covers and Peace Love Books.
Romanceopoly continues to be the reading challenge that I struggle with the most, but at least I checked off a few more prompts in May.
The prompts I checked off were:

Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a reading challenge every year. You can find more information on the website.
I checked off one prompt for the Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge in May:
I’m almost done with this challenge! I only have two prompts left.

I thought I might read more than three books for this challenge in May, but that didn’t happen. (As usual, I got distracted by library books.) The three books that I read were:
- Dearest Clementine by Lex Martin
- The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
- Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger

How are you doing on your reading challenges? Do you have any recommendations for me? Let’s talk in the comments!
I developed a reading plan of my own for 2019 instead of using Popsugar or Modern Mrs. Darcy’s or anything. Each month, I read a book of poetry, two works in translation, two books from my own shelves, and one from Clifton Fadiman’s Lifetime Reading Plan. One book can count for multiple slots in that list. So far I have stuck to the plan.
