May Library Haul (and another trip!)

I can't believe our trip to Chicago is almost here! (Hence no real menu planning this week.) This is a slightly different kind of trip, with much more time sitting on the airplane and zero pool sitting/cocktail time. So. I decided I would try and get through some backlist titles I've been meaning to read. Most of these I got on my Kindle as well, since I always put both physical and digital on hold to see which comes in first and so I can bounce back and forth to read on the go.

A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley was a recommendation on What Should I Read Next that sounded right up my alley (family drama) and an author I feel like I should read.
A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Meissner is still in my stack because it's a Choice Reads that I can renew for another month, and probably will because the digital copy is still on hold and I don't want to bring any physical books on this trip. Maybe I'll get around to it later in the month...
Brown Girl Dreaming is another one from the Choice Reads shelf and will definitely be my Newberry book for May!
Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver has been on the to-read for a WHILE. One of my favorite books of all time is The Poisonwood Bible and I have enjoyed several of her other books. Although, the last one I tried was The Lacuna and couldn't get into it - but, I'm hoping this one, also recommended on WSIRN and by my friend Hillary, will get some Kingsolver back in my life.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that follows a lot of bookstagram or book Twitter. The latest in this YA fantasy series hit the shelves last week and the internet was in full freak-out mode. Of course I wanted to see what the fuss was about, so I hope to get to that later this month.
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough was another book with so much hype - specifically regarding the crazy ending. It was literally marketed with the hashtag #WTFthatending. And I read this one already and, yep, that pretty much sums it up - review forthcoming!
