May Wrap-up and June TBR

 

 This past month I only read 3 books. I'm okay with that because it's the end of the school year and I've been having a lot of projects and tests to do. And because of that, I'll only be reading one book this month. The books that I read were okay but definitely not the best month I've had this year in regard to reading.

1- I am Number Four (1.5/5)
   I wrote a review about this book and you can check it out here.

2- Beautiful Creatures (3.5/5)
   This was my Book Club pick of the month and I reread it. I remember loving it the first time but I got to read it with a different perspective this time. I love the series but this is not my favourite book in the quartet. 

3- The Five People You Meet in Heaven (3/5)
   I read this book for my English class, and I have to say... I liked it. I was expecting more, but this book led to a lot of discussions in my class and it was pretty fun. Some of my friends read other books for their English classes and they were always complaining about how boring they were. So I'm glad that I had to read this book, because it was good. I really liked the writer's writing style. 

Now my June TBR list

The Night Circus 
I've been wanting to read this book for so long! The cover is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so excited to discuss it in my Book Club next month. :D

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called "Le Cirque des Reves," and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Well, that's it! Tell me if you have read any of the books mentioned! I would love to know!
