The series I finished were "The Dark Elements" trilogy by Jennifer L. Armentrout, "Shadow Falls" by C.C. Hunter, and "The Lunar Chronicles" by Marissa Meyer. That 1/2 series I finished was a companion novella to the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. I am very happy with the fact that I finished series this month.

I think my favorite NEW book I read this month was "The Lunar Chronicles". It was a tough choice, considering I read so many AMAZING novels in April, but I can't stop thinking about that series. 

Stay tuned for more!

Thanks for reading
xoxo
Lauren
