#Wrap Up - May 2020


Can safely say May was not my reading month. But I think it had to do with me ending up trying to do about 5 readathons at once. So for the rest of the year I am giving up readathons unless they are low key & have no prompts. So with that being said here is what I read in May...

Do I Have That Book Tag



I saw this tag on Keeping Tabs Youtube & thought it would be fun to do you can see her video here.


The Challenges

1. Do you have a book with deckled edges?
Nope although they look pretty.

2. Do you have a book with 3 or more people on the cover?
Yep I have a few to be honest the first one that spring to mind though is The Witches Trilogy by Terry Pratchett. But then many of his books have 3 or more people on the cover.

3. Do you have a book based on another fictional story?
As in a re-telling, I have a couple A Curse So Dark & Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer which is based on Beauty & the Beast & Wintersong by S Jae Jones which is based on The Goblin King.

4. Do you have a book with a title 10 letters long?
Yep got a book on my Kindle called Evangeline by E A Gottschalk.

5. Do you have a book with a title that starts and ends with the same letter?
Again could use my previous answer Evangeline but feel like that would be cheating so I'll also give you Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King.

6. Do you have a Mass Market Paperback book?
Yep first one I think of is my copy of The Gunslinger by Stephen King which is also the movie tie in cover.

7. Do you have a book written by an author using a pen name?
This would be Thinner by Richard Bachman aka Stephen King.

8. Do you have a book with a character's name in the title?
A couple I can think of is Emma by Jane Austen & Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.

9. Do you have a book with 2 maps in it?
The Hobbit by J R R Tolkein.

10. Do you have a book that was turned into a TV show?
I own the The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.

11. Do you have a book written by someone who is originally famous for something else? (celebrity/athlete/politician/tv personality...)
Ooo good question! I honestly can't say that I have.

12. Do you have a book with a clock on the cover?
Four Past Midnight by Stephen King.

13. Do you have a poetry book?
Nope can't say I've ever felt the notion to buy a poetry book as it's not really something I read.

14. Do you have a book with an award stamp on it?
My copy of Terry Pratchetts, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents with The Library Association Carnegie Medal.

15. Do you have a book written by an author with the same initials as you?
Nope.

16. Do you have a book of short stories?
Yeah I have a few of them by Stephen King. Different Seasons & Skeleton Crew to name a couple.

17. Do you have a book that is between 500-510 pages long?
Yep I have Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks sitting at 503 pages long.

18. Do you have a book that was turned into a movie?
Yeah I have a few to be honest but the biggest one I have I'd say is Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

19. Do you have a graphic novel?
At the minute I do as I still have my Mum's edition of The Walking Dead Compendium #1 that she lent me a couple of years ago.

20. Do you have a book written by 2 or more authors?
This would be the Illuminae Series by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff.
