Before I get into my wrap up I want to first touch on a bit of what happened in June. There was a lot going on in the world, more specifically regarding police brutality against black people and Black Lives Matter. If you’ve been living under an actual rock, follow that link for more information on what you can do to help the movement/find out more/educate yourself. There is a ton of online resources available to learn more about how you can educate yourself on being anti-racist. There is also a ton of petitions online for you to sign, as well as links to donate if your able to. And if I haven’t been perfectly clear in the past, if you in any way support racist (or homophobic for that matter) views, this is not the place for you and you are not welcome here. I support the Black Lives Matter Movement.
June was kind of a meh month for me. We officially reopened fully at work on June 15th, so that was nice to have that routine back. I do not do well with change, and I much enjoy having my consistent schedule back at work. I still find it weird that we are in a Pandemic, and I’m not sure that will ever not be strange to me. BUT OMG, do I miss staying at home. Like I long for that hermit time again. Ah well 😛 I did read some pretty awesome books in June but honestly… that’s about everything I did.
I spend an exorbitant amount of time on Bookstagram now so if you want to see me at my most active – follow me there. I update much more frequently than here and plus I just share stuff in a more timely and up to date manner.
Now, onto the books I read! If you DO follow me on Instagram you might have seen me mention a few times that I had a mystery TBR for the month of June, now you can know what it was 🙂
Ever since I’ve seen Books and Lala’s video, “Husband Decides What I Read” I’ve been dying to have someone pick my TBR for a month. While we were self isolating I posed the idea to my sister and she ran with it! And let me just tell you she hit it out of the park – I really liked all of the books – with NONE of them being below four stars! I might have her do this again for September 🙂
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
Relentless by Karen Lynch
Darkness of Light by Stacey Marie Brown
A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
Now essentially my TBR for July is going to be trying to continuing with the FIVE new series I started in June! I have a HUGE summer of reading ahead of me… oh dear! I expected to read a lot more books in June, but between spending most of my time on Bookstagram and basically adding books to my TBR… it left little time for reading, haha.
Have you read any of these books? Did you love them? How was your June?
