Hello, readers!
How was your month?
It was hot and rainy here but we fit in a few hikes, trips to springs, and a camping trip but mostly we hung out in the garden or in the a/c because the garden is starting to wither in the 100+ (F) temps w've had.
I had a great reading month and finished TWENTY books!
Twenty is a lot for me at any time, but about half of those were graphic novels or audiobooks. I was able to get a neighboring county library card which opened up the world of available books and quite nearly three times as many hold and loans than I'm used to. I have to say, it is quite nice to be able to read what I want, when I want, without having to wait more than a week. My local library holds go on for months and months with one purchase suggestion per month. The difference is obvious!
Books I Read in June:
