June 2022 Round up

In June, I read 29 books, most of them books by Australians, and most by women writers. Many were also children’s, middle grade, and young adult books. I have been keeping on top of all my review books so far this year, and that has meant lots of reading ahead and scheduling, but it also means everything is often ready to go. I have read as diversely as possible this month – and have focused on what I enjoy as well, which makes my reading much more fun. So, now I am getting everything ready for July and beyond.
