It’s time for another monthly wrap-up! I know I’m a little bit late to the game on this one. I totally wasn’t thinking last week, and didn’t do this one last Friday like I intended. So, I’m talking about June at the end of the first week of July!

I read eleven books in June!! That was a huge step up from my May total of eight!

Books I Read:

Isolation by Bex-chan (re-read) (5 Stars)

The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck (REVIEW) (4 Stars)

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare (4.5 Stars)

Olivia Twist by Lorie Langdon (review coming soon) (4 Stars)

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman (4 Stars)

The Cafe by the Sea by Jenny Colgan (4.5 Stars)

The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara (REVIEW) (3.5 Stars)

Suitors and Sabotage by Cindy Anstey (REVIEW) (5 Stars)

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (5 Stars)

The Orphan’s Wish by Melanie Dickerson (REVIEW) (4 Stars)

A Dangerous Engagement by Melanie Dickerson (4 Stars) 

(Disclaimer: All of the above are affiliate links to Amazon, and when you purchase a book through one, I will receive a small commission. Just FYI 🙂 ) 

So, yeah, I read 11 books! I read one e-book, three NetGalley ARCs, four audio books, and three physical books. I read some really great things this month. I made it through all of my NetGalley ARCs, and I feel much better about the few I still have left on there now! Overall, the lowest rating I had this month was 3.5 Stars, same as last month. Not too shabby!

Getting Personal:

This month was actually pretty slow and relatively uneventful for me. I did start my new job at the flower shop. I’m mostly doing deliveries and taking orders on the phone, but I recently started trying my hand at arranging. I’m terrible, but I hopefully will get better soon!

Other than working, I mainly just had a lot of hangouts with various friends of mine: movies, dinners, karaoke/trivia nights, pool time, and whatnot. I also had my monthly tea party. This one was bittersweet, as it was the last one that a friend of mine will get to come to. She is moving to another state to pursue her acting career – I’m so pumped for her, but I will miss her!

I have been trying to get to this book for months, and I’m going to make it happen. I’ve wanted to read My Lady Jane and Truly Devious for quite a while. I am going to attempt to buddy read Truly Devious with a friend of mine, if we can get our schedules to align. Crash Override is my book club book for this month.
