Month in Review: May 2013

The Book Vixen's Month in Review

It’s officially June! You know what that means? Summer is upon us (even though it feels like it’s already here). School will be out for summer break soon. And my birthday is this month so that means TBV’s annual Birthday Extravaganza is coming this month!! We have some awesome giveaways lined up that you won’t want to miss.

The Book Vixen's Birthday Extravaganza

Remember last month, in the monthly wrap-up post for April, how I said that I removed the ‘current giveaways’ widget from the sidebar? Well, I put it back in the sidebar since it’s easier to find there.

J9’s TOP PICK for May was Bear, Otter, and the Kid by T.J. Klune. My TOP PICK for May was Love Irresistibly by Julie James. If you haven’t, READ THESE BOOKS!

And here are some bookish events going on this summer:
