I really cannot believe that June is already ending… and the fact that it means the year is going to be half over in a matter of hours is just mind blowing! The end of June also marks the end of my first three months on Bookstagram and my first month with this blog! It may be trite, but time really does fly!

My June reading was busy and hectic, but most of all fun! I finished 33 books which is definitely a record for me. There were some short reads and a few graphic novels in the mix to help build to that number, but the Reading Women Month bingo game and a 10 day team readathon early in the month also helped me speed through a lot of books (even if I ended the month with some of my June TBR selections still unread). I actually felt like my reading was pretty slow at the end of the month!
June was the month I decided to kick off a blog in addition to my bookstagram account, so it has been a month of learning and growing and I’m thankful to everyone who has given a new book blogger a chance!
I’ve linked all of my reviews below. There were a couple graphic novels that picked up for my readathon that didn’t get reviewed and a few books that will have reviews posted in July. These, plus some ebooks and a couple last minute additions that were read after the picture was taken didn’t make the shot, but I was pretty happy to have managed to fit as many in the picture as I did. It has been a very busy and very fulfilling reading month!
