This month, despite being pretty much free of responsibilities, was a bit scarce in terms of books.
I am proud of the fact I finally got round to reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, and OMG! How amazing are those books?!

I didn't actually get much reading done in May. This was mainly due to my university assignments and exams, so most of the month was spent studying. Still, I read a few gems of the young adult fiction market and started a pre-teen series which I found myself facinated and yet irriated by.
