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:
  • The Dark Light, Julia Bell (26%) (coming soon)
Bought/Borrowed:

        Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's topic is books I'd want with me whilst stranded on a desert island. I've decided to split this into my favourite books that I'd want to reread and the longest books I still have on my TBR as I'd get the chance to attempt to read them if I was stuck on a deser island.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Read in One Sitting (20 July 2021)

      Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's topic is books I can read in one sitting.
