This May 2025 On My Radar is a bit shorter than usual for a number of reasons. I took an international vacation for over a week in the UK and wasn’t super present within the book blogosphere. I’ve also been in a bit of a reading slump and as such lacked motivation to do a lot of bookish things. Nevertheless, I did blog hop a little, so please feel free to pay these folks a visit!
