My Bookish Life: May Reading Wrap Up

   Hello everybody and good morning to you! I hope you guys are doing good . I am doing pretty good so far today. I wanted to go ahead and work on my blog this morning because I do have several things I have to do today. I had a very good reading month in May! I actually finished my TBR for the first time in a long time! I have 4 books to talk about this morning so lets do this !



1. Lets Spend The Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Super Groupies and Muses
Author: Pamela Des Barres
Pages: 400
Genre: Non-fiction
Rating: 3 stars

        My thoughts on the book: This was recommended to me by my friend Mary. I thought it was an ok read. I like rock and roll stories so of course I thought it was ok.  I did get some people mixed up because of how many different people were in it but, the people in it and there stories were interesting. I would be interested in checking out the books some of the people in this book have written!



2. Title: Illuminated Poems
Author: Allen Ginsberg
Genre: Poetry
Pages: 144
Rating: 3 stars

        My thoughts on the book: This was the second book I read last month. It was decent but, it wasn't the best Allen Ginsberg stuff I have ever read. Howl was good and Capital Air was good but, there are very few stand out poems in this collection. I also thought some of the art work by Eric Drooker was a good addition to the book and made it more interesting. 



3.Title: Blue Exorcist
Author: Kazue Kato
Genre: Manga
Pages: 204
Rating: 4 stars

   My thoughts on the book: The third book I read this month is Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato. It's a pretty good horror manga series . Kazue Kato done a good job as both the writer and artist for the book. The story can get pretty dark at times but, I really like it . You follow the son of Satan on his quest to become an exorcist and kill Satan so it's pretty interesting. 







4. Title: The Silence of The Lambs
Author: Thomas Harris
Genre: Horror
Pages: 367
Rating: 5 stars

My thoughts on the book: Out of the books I read this month this one was my favorite by far. I will say this is a horror classic for a reason. Thomas Harris did a really good job with the story it was very creepy. I had seen the movie before but, I had never read the book and I have to say I think the book was better!

Reading Stats For The Month:
Books Read: 4
Genres Read: 4
Pages Read: 1,115
Average Rating: According to the math it's 3.75

       That's it for this reading update! I will be back with my June TBR later today. I already played the TBR game and I ended up with a hefty stack this month so wish me luck.
