Okay fine. I had plans to keep up my monthly reading recap but suddenly it's June I haven't done one since January!? What the heck. So I'm catching up, not because I think you're all dying to know what I read, but so I can, you know, make a list. And be snarky a little too.

After reading By Your Side, my faith in Kasie West's books has been restored, so I think I'll try some more. That lottery one sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteI need to get my hands on Love and Gelato. After you talked about it I’m intrigued. I really do think you should make time for Being Friends With Boys. I think you’ll like it.
ReplyDeleteYou've read quite a bit. At book club, you always make it sound like you're not reading very much, but you're reading just fine, I think.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Love the snark :)
