Okay, I made some headway in my Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge challenge in May. I’m still super behind, but some headway is being made. I’m actually making some headway in all my challenges.

So I read 20 books in May, 11 of those were Nalini Singh rereads, five were part of the Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge, and those five had me finishing up the Electives challenge and the Hearts & Spoons Club challenges. I’ve now read 11 books in the TwentyOffMyShelf 2026🥰 challenge I’m taking part in, and seven in the Twenty Genres in 2026 challenge. I also completed book five in my own  Non-fiction reading 2026 challenge.

So by my calculations (which might not be totally accurate) I’ve read about 40% of my books for the Romanceopoly — 2026 Reading Challenge,. I’m still a little bit behind the schedule I set out for myself, but I’m technically not behind!

Shards of Hope (Psy-Changeling #14) – 5⭐, Allegiance of Honor (Psy-Changeling #15) – 5⭐ Silver Silence (Psy-Changeling Trinity #1 (#16)) – 5⭐Ocean Light (Psy-Changeling Trinity #2 (#17)) – 5⭐Wolf Rain (Psy-Changeling Trinity #3 (#18)) – 5⭐Alpha Night (Psy-Changeling Trinity #4 (#19)) – 5⭐Last Guard (Psy-Changeling Trinity #5 (#20)) – 5⭐Storm Echo (Psy-Changeling Trinity #6 (#21)) – 5⭐Resonance Surge (Psy-Changeling Trinity #7 (#22)) – 5⭐Primal Mirror (Psy-Changeling Trinity #8 (#23)) – 5⭐Atonement Sky (Psy-Changeling Trinity #9 (#24)) – 5⭐by Nalini Singh

Nalini Singh is my happy place. I did reread this series thinking that, just like every other year, the new book would be in Spring/Summer, but I was incorrect and it’s not being released until October. I might need a little Trinity reread in Autumn!

I’m kind of bummed out that this series is over, but what a great way to end this series. The boys FINALLY start to communicate and all hell breaks fucking loose!! I didn’t know who to trust, or what was going to happen next. It was just an all out shitshow and it was so freaking entertaining!

I’ll miss Ethan and Jack, they definitely need a shed load of therapy, but I trust them to have their HEA!
