May is already over. You know my feelings on this. Time. It flies! But lots of things happening this month and given the fact that I just came back from BEA, my brain is total mush so let’s just hop to the recap!

• Number of Books Read In May: 12! Not too shabby!
• Popular Search Terms:  “which lunar chronicles character are you” and “lunar chronicles quiz” (leads you back to my Lunar Chronicles quiz!) // “we were liars spoilers” (no no no, I said NO spoilers!) // “http://pagesplotspint.wpengine.com/” Hellooooooo! That’s me!
• More Amusing Search Terms: “rochelle mead suntrust mortgage” (Don’t think we were talking about the same person here…) // “i’m fall in love with book character” (happens to us all…) // “sherlok holms irony” (Was the irony the spelling?)
• Most Referrals (non-social media): The Perpetual Page Turner, YA Crush, Oh, Chrys!
• Where My Blog Most Often Leads You (non-internal/social media): Crazy Red Pen, Books Take You Places, Say It With Books

• Surprise, surprise! The Lunar Chronicles Quiz and the Best-Friend-to-Boyfriend-Romance are still my top two posts thanks to search engines!
• I made a new GUIDE! The Book Addict’s Guide to “Crossover” Books
• Before I left for BEA, I left you with info on how to find me there (and my first ever vlog!)
• I talked about my feelings on romance in books and wondering if it’s slowly starting to take over
• My Latest Bookish Addiction this time around was international editions!
