Every month I make my TBR with full confidence, like this time I’m definitely going to stick to it. And every month, my mood reader self looks at that plan and laughs. June was no different. I started the month with a perfectly reasonable stack of books, and then, as expected, a few more quietly slipped in because apparently, I have never heard of self-control when it comes to books.
That said, June turned out to be a pretty good reading month. It had a bit of everything like emotional reads, romance, books that surprised me, and a few that reminded me why I keep making these overambitious TBRs in the first place. Lately, I’ve noticed I’ve been leaning more towards books that make me feel something, and June definitely had a few of those.
