My favorite books of the month were The Human Division, which is the fifth book in the Old Man's War series, and I LOVED IT SO SO MUCH. This is probably my favorite so far and I just adore Harry Wilson! Also loved Everything Everything, but that was to be expected, because everyone raves about it and they were right. It comes out in September and I highly recommend it! It was lovely. 

I've read a very minimal amount of adult sci-fi and fantasy, which is weird, because these are my favorite genres and I loved all three books I've read in may. Also Brandon Sanderson amazes me all the time. 

I think I had enough of YA fantasies, I just don't enjoy them as much as everyone else seems to. I really liked the last two books of the Penryn and the End of Days trilogy and The Heir was alright too (not my favorite in the series by far, but it's still entertaining). Almost all these books I've read during bout of books.

Stolen is overhyped in my opininon and I didn't enjoy The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy either. Reconstructing Amelia would've been an amazing read if it wasn't so full of clichés. If you want to read a cute YA contemporary I would recommend Things We Know by Heart and Everything Everything. Both were really good. 

I finally started Chew and I have to say it's worth the hype surrounding it! I really enjoyed the first one, but loved the second and can't wait to continue on with this series. I've also finished the last remaining short story I had by Mira Grant, so now I don't have anything by her to read. :( (I don't want to continue the Parasitology trilogy.)

This month I reread the first book in the Harry Potter series, because I was in the mood for it and now I don't want to do anything else just read all the books. Nice...

TV Shows

I started to watch Younger the other day and I fell in love in 5 minutes, seriously. I don't know how I did not know this show existed, but I'm so happy I found it. It is awesome and I marathoned all ten episodes the last day of May. So much fun. If you don't like Sutton Foster, you still should give it a chance. I couldn't stand her in the beginning of Bunheads, but she grows on you, really. I watch this show because of her. 

I was in the mood for Friends so I've binged the first season and I think I will continue with the second right away. They are my absolute favorites.
