May 2020 Reading Re-Cap & Expected June Reads

My May 2020 Reads: 

What can I say about May? It whizzed by so fast. Life got very busy this month and my reading time plummeted. As you'll see below, I didn't read as many books as normal.

In May, I finished:

1. The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


2. Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.


3. An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 


4. The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch - ⭐⭐⭐ - Read my review.

Expected June 2020 Reads:

In June, I hope to read:

1. How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster - I started reading this one in early May, but didn't get very far in before life went crazy. I'll probably have to restart from the beginning.


2. At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer - This will be my first book by her in a long time and I'm excited to read it!


3. Ruby Moon by Jennifer Knipfer - Both this book and it's sequel have been sitting on my shelf for months! Sometimes I get soooo behind! 🙈


4. The Weaver Trilogy by Lindsay A. Franklin - I've seen these books all over Instagram and heard wonderful things about this series, so I'm looking forward to reading it!


5. A Mosaic of Wings by Kimberly Duffy - I'm currently reading and loving this one!


6. Coming Home to Maverick by Sophia Summers - Looking forward to this one too!

About the Book:

Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.

Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand--and heart--are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.

Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous western Virginia mountains of 1770.
