In May I read 3 awesome books and 2 not so (ahum) awesome. I don't know why, but the Darkest Minds trilogy reads so slowly and even though I like the story in general, I most of the time just don't care. Anyways, these are the books I read in May:

- Never Fade (The Darkest Minds #2) by Alexandra Bracken (read only the last half of it in May) 3.5/5 ★ review

- Affinity by Sarah Waters 4.5/5 ★ review

- Aristotle and Dante discovering the secrets of the universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz 5/5 ★ review

- The Kiss, The Two Volodyas and Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov 5/5 ★ review

- In The Afterlight (The Darkest Minds #3) by Alexandra Bracken

I got to page 334 out of 535 of In The Afterlight, but I think I'm going to put it down for a while because this series is putting me in a slump. I want to finish it someday though.

When it comes to tv series: I watched a lot. Sadly enough were Faking It and Nashville canceled so very suddenly, but I also discovered a new series : Life Unexpected. I'm kinda hooked to it (only have 4 episodes left ha). Click here for the trailer if you're curious. 

What did you read in May and which one was your favorite?

Summary:

The Kiss is about hope in love etc. 

The Two Volodyas is about a woman who rethinks her marriage and feels she married him for money instead of love and goes kinda crazy.

Gooseberries is about finding happiness and about hope and freedom.

My opinion:

This is what I think every Little Black Classic should be like. I loved all of the stories and I cannot wait to read more by this author (which is also not good because now I want to buy more books ha). I can't see which one my favorite story is, but if I have to choose I'll choose Gooseberries, because it has not only Russian themes in it, but also themes that are still relevant today. If you want to buy a little black classic, i highly recommend this one.

Have you read anything by Anton Chekhov and if so what is your opinion about his work/any recommendations?
