May, you have been so hot! Now we are growing vegetables, we really notice when it doesn’t rain and it’s been super dry these last few months. If it can rain at night and be sunny in the day, that would be super. Thanks weather!
If you haven’t heard I’m taking over Ninja Book Swap from Bex, who is stepping aside to spend more time on her subscription box business. Please re-follow @NinjaBookSwap to keep updated and the next swap will be in October (sign ups in September).
June is holiday month! Since we’ve got Scully now we’re going up to the Lake District and then visiting my parents in the Scottish Borders. The blog will be a little quiet, but I have a few things scheduled to keep it ticking over. Follow me on Instagram for Scully on Tour photos!

Immigrant/Refugee Main Character: American Street by Ibi Zoboi
*There is some debate on whether or not Mexico is North or Central America. However I think it is still in the spirit of the challenge to include it (if I read anything else less ambiguous, I will update).

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within
Gora is a planet without resources, its only use is a stopover for interplanetary travel. The Five-Hop One-Stop is one such place for long distance travellers to rest and refuel. Run by a Laru and her child, it’s not the most glamourous of stops but…

Ink and Bone has been sitting on my to-read list for way too long. Looks like you had a great month! I hope June goes just as well for you. 🙂
It's a fun book if you like bookish books!
So pleased you're taking over Ninja Book Swap, though I don't do it every time. Hopefully I'll be able to this year. Also, I'm desperate to read Every Heart A Doorway! Looking forward to your review.
I put off reading Every Heart a Doorway so long only because I was waiting for a UK edition. But it seems that's just not going to happen. The US Tor hardbacks are lovely but a bit pricey for a novella. I think Tor.com posted the ebook for free a few weeks ago, though not sure if that's still going.
The only book out of these that I've read is The Subtle Knife, my favourite out of His Dark Materials! 😀
