  • BEST FICTION: I read a lot of really good fiction in May, but I think the winner is In an Absent Dream.
  • BEST NONFICTION: I think I gave four stars to every single nonfiction book in May, but this honor goes to Crisis in the Red Zone.

I finished a total of 19 books in May, for a total of 86 so far in 2020!

The Audiobook Challenge is hosted by Hot Listens & Caffeinated Reviewer.
