June Reading Wrap-Up

June is now done and summer is super here. In full force. And by that I mean it's burst-into-flames hot outside followed by crazy torrential storms. Ah summer. I haven't yet made it to reading on the beach but I do plan on fitting some of that in eventually. For now I have done fairly well with my reading, although I blame the summer for making me not want to do any homework, i.e. challenge reading. I'm going to need to buckle down or else I'm going to be cramming to get this stuff done. See, it's like being back in school!
