Monthly Summary - June 2015

Wow! I can't believe it's July already! June just flew past! It was a rather busy June this year though.

Firstly, my parents went away to the Isle of Man TT and so left me to keep my younger brother alive. That took a hell of a lot of time! It must of been because I was actually working all day then going home to cook and make sure he was actually eating healthily.

Then I took part in the Cancer Research Race for Life Pretty Muddy. As you could imagine I ended up filthy (see picture below). But it was so much fun and I can't wait to do it next year!


Then, as I work at a University, I got to attend Graduation. A whole year since I graduated from the same University! It was so weird being a guest this year and I kept thinking that I should have had a robe on! But it was a great day and there was free prosecco and strawberry tarts.

Because of my busyness, June hasn't been that great a month for reading, I only read 5 books and I'm kinda disappointed. This has taken my total to 29 books so far this year. My favourite book this month was The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent.

My TBR is sitting at 251 books. That's no change since May so I'm happy with that. Even though it's not changed I feel like I may be making some headway towards reducing the pile.

Books I have read this month:

DNF's this month:

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
