Month in Review: June 2017

Goodbye June…Hello July!!! I can’t believe this year is already half over…it’s flying by! I still have so many books sitting on my shelf just waiting to be read and yet more and more keep being added. I need a time machine to stop time so I can read for days at a time but not really lose any time – anybody want to get on that for me?

Well, BookExpo has come and gone and what a great time I had! I picked up some great books that I am really excited to read over the next 6 months and met some awesome authors. I posted my updates already – but I’ll include them here in case you missed them:

    For once I have no "snap" I read that too, although there are a couple I'd like to read but like you so many books to read. I did enjoy Goodnight from London on audio, narrator did it well.

      I need to read more from her – I read a short story she contributed to in a collaboration, but I know she has a few others out. I met her briefly – she's quite charming!
