May Reading Summary and June Plans

While an erratic internet connection at home for the last one week has resulted in this delay in posting my May summary, a week long Moscow trip resulted in me not finishing my reading goals for the first month this year (not that I am complaining!)

1. The End of the Affair by Graham Greene (for my RL Book Club) ()

2. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (for my RL Book Club) ()

3. Brothers in Arms (Vorkosigan Saga) by Lois McMaster Bujold ()

4. Allegiant (Book 3 of Divergent Series) by Veronica Roth ()

5. Words of Radiance (Book 2 of The Stormlight Archives) by Brandon Sanderson ()

6. Runaway Jury by John Grisham ()

7. Nude Before God by Shiv Kumar ()

The two leftover books from my May schedule and a few more constitute my June reading plans. There is a week long domestic travel for this month too, but I am hoping it won't derail my reading this month too.

10. Borders of Infinity (Vorkosigan Saga) by Lois McMaster Bujold ()


I plan, well, at this point of time, it is more of a wish really, to read the following books in May; may fall short in absence of the holidays, my travel plans in the last week of the month and the fact that the there are a few voluminous books in my May list.
