Happy Birthday! Its birthday month for our family...3 birthdays in May out of 7 kids, and then the one who came a week late would have been May, but is June. Thus 4 birthdays in 3 weeks! 😵‍💫

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

We have three birthdays in May too; we hit all the firsts: 1st, 21st & 31st! Happy birthday month to your family!

[@kristiacole]

The Moonstone sounds very intriguing!

[@zachreads]

I'm at war with a slump so I'm keeping may open(isl). Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta is a Y A that looks fun. Swarm by Jennifer D Lyle looks good. The Romance Recipe by Ruby Barrett might be a good option too

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I've been at war with a slump too, love that description! Though I'm 100% sure mine is just a life stage thing, hoping by the end of May things level out. Hopefully you can defeat your slump!

[@kristiacole]

Ooo Winter Heart sounds right up my alley! Can't wait to hear what you think about that!

[@kimbitner]

It amazes me that you can still make time to read in the midst of moving! I hope it’s a good reading month despite all the chaos❤

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

There definitely hasn't been a lot of reading going on but I've been able to squeeze a bit in here and there!

[@ABookLikeYou]

I really hope you get to and enjoy Belladonna! And Foxglove is even better! 👏

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Great to hear, thanks Keisha!

[@pylesofbooks]

I would like to read The Moonstone, too! Have a wonderful birthday! 🎉

[@cmmatsko]

I'm also reading The Moonstone in May!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Perfect!

[@tabithagabrielle5432]

Also... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thank you!

Happy Birthday Month, Chantel! 🎉🎉

Thanks Tammy!

Happy Early bday!!!! To you and all the other May bdays!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks Kris!

[@JulieSmilingShelves]

The Moonstone is really good!

[@AshleasBookshelf]

I'm reading books I've borrowed from friends. I also hope to get to Drake Hall and a Mrs. Pollifax in May.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Ah, I need to get going with Mrs. Pollifax! Too bad I boxed her books up, maybe in June!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I really enjoyed Belladonna!! Great spring book. Hope you love it too and have a wonderful birthday 😊🎉🌺

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks Chelsea!

[@amyofhearthridge]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈🎊🎁🎉 MONTH! I love celebrating 🥳 my birthday with books, too! I’m using Mother’s Day (does Canada follow England or USA on Mother’s Day?)for books and nature stuff this year, too! Intriguing picks. Have you read The Ember Blade? I’m hoping I like it, because I asked for it for Mother’s Day. 😮🤣🤞🏻

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

That sounds like a great way to do Mother's Day! And yes, we have the same weekend as the US, which is a little too bad because my birthday is always the next weekend, I wish they were a little more spaced out. I have not read The Ember Blade, I'll read it if you say it's good. 😉

[@amyofhearthridge]

Btw, I’m totally taking the summer to refocus/refresh my homeschool “well”. Your DIY degree is SO inspiring! I’m collecting my stack. I wish I could do a video about it, but not sure. Life is life-y right now. Thank you for your inspiration! 😍♥️📚

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I get life being life-y! Can't wait to hear how your refocus/refresh goes!

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I hope you have a great birthday reading month!

[@teresarollen7425]

Happy Birthday Month! I am loving the Patrick Bowers series so far. I have read Opening Moves, Every Crooked Path and Every Deadly Kiss so far. Loved them all. I did read The Pawn years ago out of order when I didn't know they had an order and really loved it. Can't wait to get to the chess pieces books.

[@darlenefarley8193]

Happy Early Birthday Chantel 🎉🎈🎊🎂

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks Darlene!

[@benellison6232]

Happy Birthday month dude! I'm using this video to reduce stress from finals

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Ahh, I'm not jealous, finals are not fun, but hope you had a chance to relax a little!

[@LexiBetweenTheLines]

Happy Almost Birthday! I have had Belladonna on my long-game TBR now for a while. I’ve read All the Stars & Teeth by the same author - enjoyed it! But there were some elements that weren’t my favorite but others I loved so I’m curious how I’ll like Belladonna. It sounds so intriguing!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I'm trying to go into Belladonna with low expectations so hopefully it surprises me, hopefully that's how it works!

[@LexiBetweenTheLines]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay I think that’s a good rule of thumb. And no commitments if you’re not enjoying, but if you are - WOO! 💃🏼

[@insearchofwonder]

Happy birthday! My birthday is in May also, so I'm mood reading all month long. 🎉🎉🎉

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Happy Birthday Month!! I pray the move goes smoothly. In May, I'm reading Silas Marner by Eliot, Dandelion Wine by Bradbury, Dr Thorne by Trollope and Gone with the Wind (i only managed 2 ch last month😅...life took over). Going to try to get the Gouge book in for Kate's Kindred Spirits called The White Witch.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks Penny! Life does take over sometimes, that's definitely been my April reading.

[@oldbooksandroses95]

Happy birthday month! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on Winter Heart. When you first mentioned it, I immediately added it to my TBR

[@ChautonaHavig]

EEEP! I love Parker Pyne! He's such a hoot. You cant take them too seriously, but boy... so fun. ARGH. I don't have The Moonstone. I figured I wouldn't like it, but honestly, it sounds better than The Woman in White to me. So now I have to go buy that. Boo. Hoo. Let me cry. And every time you mention that Nordic one, I go to buy it. I haven't yet. But you've almost worn me down... Happy packing and Happy (early) birthday!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I'll let you know how Winter Heart is, I have a feeling I'll be prioritizing it this month!

[@lizdorrington2851]

Happy early birthday Chantel!!❤🎉 I'm reading The Stranger by Albert Camus and Two Women In One by Nawal El-Saadawi for my English degree.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thank you! Also, interesting sounding books!

[@froxisbant7518]

My SFF book club is doing Babel for this month which will fit the New to Me Author (going Doyle all the way).

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Curious to hear what you think of Babel!

[@Mkayreadsandvlogs]

It’s my birthday month too. In fact it’s my birthday week 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Ooh, Happy Birthday week!

[@sarahstangledtales]

Happy early birthday!!!!! 🎉🥳 I don’t know what side I’m going to end up on for TRYBC either, but since I’ve just been playing it by ear all along I’ll just keep doing that-who knows, maybe I’ll pick one of each! 😂

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

It would be a pretty each month to hit up both sides!

[@wanderingwithstacy]

I really need to read a Wilkie Collins book!

[@JanellyValdezC]

Happy early birthday!! ❤️

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thank you!

[@abundanceintheson_316]

Happy Birthday and moving Month!!! 🎉❤ I am keeping your move in my prayers and I hope all goes smoothly 💖🙏 My May TBR has some roll over from April: 1. Jessica's Letters // re-reading this because I want to assign it for my oldest daughter's non-fiction reading next school year (Roll over from April) 2."The Tale of Beatrix Potter" by Margaret Lane (Roll over from April) 3. "The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed" by Heather V. Frederick 4. "Rooted in Wonder" by Eryn Lynum (roll over from April // also switching to the Doyle side and so this is my "new to me" author) 5. "These High, Green Hills" by Jan Karon

[@morganmiscellaneous]

Happy Birthday to you! 🎈📚🍰 I've been in a major reading slump this past month. So I'm keeping May very open ended. Although I'm currently in middle of Adult Children of emotionally Immature Parents-Lindsay Gibson, The adventures of Almina Al Sir-alfi ( don't think I got that right), and Mary Boeyln a historical biography by Alison Weir (nonfiction); on a side note keeping those families straight is a bit difficult considering they love reusing family names but it is all very interesting.

[@mis3rygloom117]

🎂 Aw happy bday month 🎉

[@tabithagabrielle5432]

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Belladonna!! I've heard very mixed things but it sounds intriguing!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

In short: it's not worth it. It's unfortunate but definitely not one I would recommend.

[@tabithagabrielle5432]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay I figured that would be your take away! I feel like that's the most common thing I hear from the reviews of people I trust. 🙃

[@juner1064]

I started ‘The Moonstone’ in April. I am only about 1/3 of the way in but I am liking it. This is my first Wilkie Collin’s book. Praying for a smooth move for you and your family in May.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Glad to hear you are enjoying The Moonstone so far! Thanks for your prayers!

[@priscillashaw5715]

I'm reading Breath by I think ..James Nester. Can't remember the authors name exactly. My non fiction one at the moment.

[@psalm19creations]

I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think of Belladonna and The Professor. I've only read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, so I'm curious to know how The Professor compares. I'm planning to finish up book 3 in the Temeraire series and also read Dear Henry, Love Edith for the Revive Book Club. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I'll get to. Looking at the inscription in the book, it looks like it says "From my hero during..." something something, "No adachric words." That middle word might not be right at all, but it made me think that maybe he was trying to write "adequate" but didn't know how to spell it. Obviously, I could be wrong because the writing is very hard to read.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Haha, it's quite a messy little note, it intrigues me.

[@psalm19creations]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay It would me too!

[@carlyhunt5339]

Chromatic, book 3 in the Color Theory series comes out in May. I’m planning to read it right away, assuming it doesn’t get lost in the mail

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Hopefully that was a one time thing! What did you rate book one and two in that series? I think I gave book one a 4 star and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue or not but if Carly is . . .

[@carlyhunt5339]

@@ChantelReadsAllDay I gave both books five stars but book one was better. Book two had more YA angst than the first book. I’m honestly not sure if you would like it. I have a special place in my heart for Vivid because it was my first fantasy book 😊

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

@@carlyhunt5339 ooh, the book that started it all!

[@dippiehippie9211]

Couldn't your Agatha Christie count as a book by a favorite author? You are moving this month. You might want to get double duty from that book! LOL

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yessssss, brilliant idea!
