Hello and welcome to my month of June! I was a busy bee, or at least felt like it, so let’s get to it.

What I read

June was a mediocre reading month, with a few books I had to push through because I was angry and needed to know what happened to the characters. But then there were real winners, like Leigh Stein's The Land of Enchantment. I loved her debut novel, and couldn't resist the gorgeous cover and description of this memoir of living through an abusive relationship. She writes so gorgeously, and it may end up my favorite book of the year (It was my pick for the Best Books We Read in June at Book Riot).
