June Review

 


Spending two weeks in Italy this month did allow for some good reading time - on the plane, by the pool, on the beach, in many cafes!  But, still I didn't finish that many books. It made me realize that perhaps I am becoming a slower reader in my old age, or maybe reading a couple longer books!  But, it was a good month for reading books I enjoyed, so I am trying to focus more on quality versus quality!  

In July, I seem to have a lot of book club books to get through and I'm finding that I need to plan my reading time to ensure that I get it all done!  I will have to evaluated whether I like that approach, or whether the "requirements" of book club are feeling too stressful.  But, I do like the idea of setting aside time to read that allows me to really dive into a book instead of just catching snippets here and there.  We'll see how it all goes!

Books read in June

1. Class by Stephanie Land (Memoir/Book Club/Library)

2. Zero Days by Ruth Ware (Mystery/Shelf)

3. Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo (Fiction/Shelves/Book Club)

4. One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware (Mystery/Shelves)

5. James by Percival Everett (Fiction/Borrowed)

I have a lot of book club reading to do this month, so hoping that will motivate me to get through a few and keep my reading up for the summer!
