pickThis was my top book for May and I should probably review it. Sandstorm is the first book in the Sigma Force series. It‘s what you would get if you threw elements of The Mummy, Indiana Jones, and King Solomon‘s Mines in a blender along with a secret military group and set it after 9/11. I found I didn‘t want to put it down, and listened to some of it on audio even though I didn‘t love the narrator. It was a great vacation read.

May #wrapup
Total read = 10
7 audio (2 novellas)
3 print
I returned to several series I had paused on and started a couple of new ones. My pick for May is Sandstorm, because it reminded me that I can get through a #chunkster. I gobbled up the almost 600 pages while on vacation.
pickVolumes 10-12 actually…
Can. Not. Put. It. Down. The enemies are more dangerous, the battles more devastating & at least we come to the truth about who Jinwoo Sung really is & what he is meant to do. The pace is frenetic in these three volumes—so much going on even as Jinwoo tries to spend a little time with a friend. Only one more volume (out in August) to go! This is such a fun read—eager to see how it ends but really, I don‘t want it to end.

Wow. Volume 11 of Spy x Family was INTENSE and I loved every single minute of it! I‘m not sure how the next volumes will be able to compete with this one 😬
pickActually Vol. 9 but it‘s not in Litsy…I think it‘s probably obvious from my reviews but I‘m officially a fan…in fact, such a big fan I‘m buying stickers to put on my laptop. 😬 This is straight up a fun read & clearly that‘s what my brain wants right now. Who am I to argue?!? This volume sees Jinwoo back where it all began & the truth about who is behind everything, what they want, & who Jinwoo is begins to emerge. Can‘t wait to see what happens!
