Good morning everyone and happy Friday! You know, that doesn’t hold the same value as it used to. But it’s Friday!
I decided I wanted to bring back 5 to 1 Friday. It’s a series I had started with a friend of mine, but we just kind of stopped doing it. I wanted to bring it back so here we are!
I will be sharing the prompts for all of May as well! Feel free to join in! Remember that not all of these will necessarily be book related. So, let’s get into this.

To start things out, let’s talk about the prompts for May! Feel free to join in and tag me!

I started listening to it on a Sunday (the day I normally focus on doing school work) and only planned on starting it. Maybe max an hour listening. Then I just couldn’t stop. It wasn’t even an active “I can’t stop this.” I just kept going without even realizing it, if that makes sense. Then suddenly I was done… And I didn’t know how to feel. I loved it.

Yeah, it was a weird feeling after I finished it as well. I love when books pull you in like that

I loved The Shadows Between Us! And I’ve really been looking for a good romance novel so I might have to check out The Best Man Problem.

I would recommend checking out The Best Friend Problem first! It’s the first book in this “series” and is about a woman who decides that she’s going to get. artificially inseminated to become pregnant since she doesn’t have a man in her life to make a baby with. With all the talk of babies and insemination, she ends up sleeping with her best friend. Surprise! She ended up pregnant!
It’s really good and was my first Mariah Ankenman. I loved it!

Ok, That definitely sounds like a fun plot line. I’ll be adding it to my TBR. Thanks for the recommendation!
