June was busy. Like May. But the stark difference is my sense of accomplishment: I managed to post my thoughts on the books I neglected to talk about last month, in addition to the handful of books I read this month. Happy dance. Happier dance because of the books pictured below, I liked a lot of them, feel an overwhelming love for a select few, and hated nothing! And, again, the blog wasn’t completely comatose this month. YAY. Sasha is a happy goat.
So. Here they are, with the links leading to my thoughts.

I am so excited for July. I mean, I know I’m going to be busy with real life [gahdamn you, real life!], but I’m psyched to show you all what I’ve been trying to read, haha. I guess, yes, I’m also psyched to start working on this clean-ish slate. I’ll start trying to spam your blogs with my chatter very soon, like them good ol’ days. Baby steps for now, though. [Thanks for sticking with me, you guys.]
That’s about how much I read in a year. Oh well, everybody has different paces. :) I love your blog.
I hate when real life interferes with reading. Good luck with July!
Hello, Sasha! Did you ever buy used books on Amazon? And, can I trust it?
