I'm a pretty terrible reader, but I'd like to show representation for others like myself! The fact that I read five books is a wonder and something I've rarely accomplished since the middle-grade slivers I consumed as a child. Regardless, it was a decent reading month and I've been trying to determine if I'm too nice to books or if I'm just reading things I like. Perhaps I'm too much of a contrarian. Alas. These are my reads of this month.

It took me a while to get into this lovely companion novel, but when I did, I was very pleased with it. As the stories went on, I found myself only enjoying them more. The illustrations are not only a delightful bonus but also woven so beautifully into the story that I'm not sure the stories would work as well without them. Regardless, we have them together and that's all that matters.
