Where did June go? I am so not ready for the full heat of summer, but it’s already under way! At least I had a great reading month. Which is odd. Because I actually have been feeling pretty slump-ish the last week or two after reading like crazy at the beginning of the month, but I’m starting to get my reading mojo back! Reading is always about quality, but this month it was a bit about quantity too for the Whatever-You-Want-A-Thon (#whateverathon) so that added some extra motivation which helped me get through a lot! I read a few really fantastic books, but AN EMBER IN THE ASHES by Sabaa Tahir was a fave!
