June 2025 Reading Round Up

In June, I completed the reading for a big thing I have spent months doing, and started to get back on top of my review books. There’s still a way to go, but I’m working hard to clear things up so I can focus on some books I have had in my queue for over a year. Many of the books I read this month were by women or Australian women, and covered picture books and novels, and books for all ages. I participated in blog tours as well, and managed to read 21 books. I’m also very close to finishing reading challenges, and will have some reviews coming out after this is published due to release dates and scheduling of some posts.
