May was has been a fantastic bookish month! I read and listened to 14 books, a combination of short stories, middle grade, novels and memoirs. Personally it’s been a hard month, as my elderly Mum (89), has been seriously ill, and ended up in hospital for a week. She’s back home again, after being fitted with a pacemaker, she’s not great, but she’s at home, with all my siblings, which is where she wants to be.
