Books I Read in May
It is now June. June means #bookaday, which I’m excited about. It’s one of the things I love about summer break–reading without too many other responsibilities (like grading papers or doing homework). This summer I am working on updating the digital catalogue of my personal library — adding more book talks and blog posts for the books in my collection. This, I think, is going to greatly influence my #bookaday participation and my reading list for June.
Enough June. Let’s talk about May. Here are the books I read in May.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green — To be fair, though, this one doesn’t count toward my total anymore. I keep rereading it because I’m doing a tour of Indianapolis through the places in TFiOS.
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson**
The Necromancer by Michael Scott
The Sorceress by Michael Scott
The Magician by Michael Scott
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen
Brain Jack by Brian Faulkner
Wonder by R. J. Palacio**
Smile by Raina Telgemeier
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (I have The Lizzie Bennet Diaries to thank for this one. Watch them. They’re awesome.)
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate**
Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler
Kaleidoscope Eyes by Jen Bryant
Discordia: The Eleventh Dimension by Dena K. Salmon
I’m talking about no top surgery, no bottom surgery, no hormones, and no legal name change. I’m also talking about people who aren’t at risk to lose their entire support system if they transition. Basically, is there anyone out there like me? lol There are a few solid reasons I don’t plan to…
I’m glad there are so many people who feel this way. I’m right there with you (grad student, too, though in sunny, hot New Mexico). I hope you feel less alone now. I know I do.
Messing around with typography and John Green quotes. Favorite things to do :D. This is also available in a bigass format for large printing, so if anyone would like that, message me :)
If I wander off, there’s a good chance you can find me in the books.

In this installment of The TFiOS Tour of My Indianapolis, my sister and I go see the real North Central High School, where the fictional character, Augustus Waters, was a student. (If you’re following along, we’re on page 24.)
I’m excited to finally get to talk about the project I’ve been waiting to start since January. Videos will be posted every Friday all summer long. Enjoy?
This is making me really anxious.
I know that’s what it’s supposed to do, but buh.
Can’t handle.
You think that’s bad? I just finished Brain Jack by Brian Faulkner. Even worse. Makes me never want to have the Internet connected to my head.
