How is June over already?! This whole year is going way too fast. I haven’t had as much time for reading this year but I’m hoping to fit in more during the second half of the year than I did the first. This month I started reading ARCs again which is throwing my TBR a little bit but the review copies I read were pretty great so I’m glad I started fitting them in again. I also finally finished my 3rd read through of The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon which is book 5 of the Outlander series. Most of the books I read in June were review copies actually. In addition to reading some really good books this month, I also had a pretty great book haul. I’m really excited to read all of the books that I got. I’m not sure when I’ll read them because… never ending TBR… but they will be read at some point this year.

And now for a little check-in for my year-to-date stats. I like to keep track of all kinds of different things including genre and format. So far this year my most read genre is historical fiction which is making up 32% of the books I’ve read so far this year. The past few years I’ve been pretty heavy on the YA books but this year 88% of the books I’ve read so far have been adult books. On average I read 109 pages every day which is pretty great considering there are days I don’t read at all. I’m really looking forward to seeing how those numbers change as we go through the rest of the year.
What books did you read in June? Any new favorites or books you’d like to recommend?

I hope you’re able to read more in the second half of the year! June was such a crappy month for me with reading. So disappointed that I only read three books haha. I’m glad you were able to read six though! Awesome haul! I can’t wait to read the Modern Faerie Tales series, but damn that book is so huge. I don’t know if I’ll even want to hold it while trying to attempt to read it LMAO.

Haha right?! I think I’ll end up reading the individual copies and leave the giant one to look pretty on my shelf lol. Here’s hoping we both get out of these slumps and read more the rest of the year!
