My daily yoga habit is now at about 8 continuous weeks and I'm really starting to see improvements in my strength and flexibility. I even managed my first good Chaturanga pose (one that requires serious arm and core strength!) on Friday morning which I am sure is due to my new-to-me 1970s-inspired leggings from the excellent Zon Boho Vintage Etsy shop in Sweden! Anything this vivid has to be motivational, right?

Regular blog series:
In May I blogged another African WorldReads, this time from Rwanda. This month's Cover Characteristics collection featured Bicycles and my 5 Books, 1 Theme quintet were all Shakespeare Retellings because I was feeling envious of all the theatre broadcasts we can't see. I also shared my favourite Bookish Etsy Finds.
I'm now up to date on State of the ARC which I am very pleased about though I may have hauled Too Many New Books.
Now, on with this Reading Roundup!
I have linked up with Nicole's WrapUpRoundUp over at Feed Your Fiction Addiction.

My Reviews
Spotlights
My Book Of The Month could have been Elizabeth Wein's The Enigma Game or Wasteland by Terry Tyler - both eagerly awaited and I loved reading them, but for me Braiding Sweetgrass is just too important a book not to sweep the accolade.
I should puy braiding sweetgrass on my list. I need to do some yoga to relax my back afer all the gardening I done recently.
ReplyDeleteBraiding Sweetgrass is just brilliant!
DeleteI love this book and Kimmerer's philosophy :-)
I'm going to have to check out your Rwanda post!

ReplyDeleteUltra Squad looks good! Braiding Sweetgrass sounds like a very educational and interesting read as well. Hope you have a great June!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature's May Wrap-Up
Your May was awesome for books and yay for keeping up with yoga! Books and exercise have kept me sane and thinking clearly because I can at least escape the world for a few hours.
