May 2026 Reads

I just wrote an entire book post and it got swallowed by the internet, which is something that used to happen all the time in my early blogging days but hasn't in a while. So I'm giving myself a free pass this month and, instead of trying to recreate the post, just listing the titles, authors, and a three-word description/review.

Street of the Five Moons by Elizabeth Peters: Madcap Rome caper.
Once there Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy: Scotland, wolves, redemption.
