May
I never know how to open these posts, especially when the month has been less than great. It was quite a good reading month though, & my blog views were good too…

Audiobook Update:
This is the first time I’ve included this section in my 2019 Sum-Up Sundays posts & that’s because May was the first time in ages that I finished listening to an audiobook. I’ve put this section down as an update as I’m not setting myself a goal for listening to books, but I wanted to include my Audible tracking as it’s still a part of my reading journey… In May I finished 2 audiobooks, & listened to 8hrs & 40mins worth of books. I also want to mention that in April I listened to 13hrs & 16mins worth of books as I didn’t include this in my post for April…
