June Reading Wrap-Up

 Time is flying. As it always does. It's extra flying at the moment though because now
Stuck in your head now?
We're now officially in wedding month and really, I'm ready for it to be here. I mean, I feel like I don't have enough time to actually get anything done BUT I would also like the wedding to be here now so I don't have to plan it anymore. That'd be cool.

Anyway, back to reading. I had a surprisingly busy reading month in June. Whoda thunk it? The books have tended to be on the shorter side so there is that. Perhaps I was subconsciously getting lots of reading done now before July hits and I don't have time for anything.

Without further ado, the stats!

Number of books read
6
The First 20 Minutes by Gretchen Reynolds
Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Bradden (which yes, was mostly read in May, but finished in June. So here she is.)
In The Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig
The River of No Return by Bee Ridgway

Total pages read
2,263

Percentage of fiction
83% - hey look! I got 1 non-fiction in there.

Percentage of female authors

67%

Percentage of white authors
83% - well better than usual

Percentage of US authors
67%

Percentage of ebooks

67% - I'm sort of surprised it's so high, but then I remember how e-reading goes. I'm reading an ebook. Then I finish it but OH NO, I'm still out and have no other book. Better just grab another ebook. Repeat.

Percentage of rereads
0% - I plan on having this change in July. Not cos I think it's important to have a good re-reads stat but just because OH HEY, books I like. I want to read you again.

Percentage of review books

0%

Books written by decade
1860s - 17%
2000s - 17%
2012s - 67%

Excellent, that was the intention
*whispers* but technically it's still June...

ANYWAY. Reading, yes! You've finally read Gone Girl, I see, HOW WAS THAT? I'm still on the fence about it, but I do think Ben Affleck will be a perfect nick cause he's also a douche.

YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED SO SOON OMGGGG!!!

yeah I scheduled this for the wrong day. But of course I knew I wouldn't get any more reading done so the majority of the post works out.

Ben Affleck's been cast in Gone Girl. Huh. Yes, that works
I want to know what the new ending Gillian Flynn wrote for the film is, because I don't know if I actually want to see the film adaptation since I read and didn't super care for the book. But Ben Affleck in a douche-y role is usually entertaining so....meh?
I can't comment on much, I've only read Gone Girl... but congrats and enjoy your wedding!!! And yes, you might enjoy even more the fact that it's over with and you get to relax (and be married!). I sure did...

Thank ya! Yes, I'm looking forward to getting to the wedding part (and past all of the planning) and enjoying myself then. And on the honeymoon after!
I had 'The Final Countdown' in my head all day yesterday after reading this post on my phone, so thanks for that Alley!

WEDDING!

YOU'RE WELCOME

that's going to be stuck in my head for the next couple weeks. Good times
Gone Girl is on the nightstand. Pretty sure I will read it in July. I hope you plan on doing a gigantic post-wedding post! Congratulations, and don't worry, you will forget your entire wedding--haha! Not sure if that is really true, but that's what everyone says.
