A Month in Review: June

Books Reviewed:

Total Books Reviewed: 7 

This number is a bit down from last month.  I probably have 5-6 books I’ve read that I still need to write reviews for.  Otherwise, I blame it on my exhaustion after BEA and that pesky kidney infection I had!

Pick of the Month: Without a doubt, So Cold the River by Michael Kortya!

Special Events

We had a lot of special events in June! 

• We celebrated Audio Book Week, thanks to the fine planning of Jen from Devourer of Books.  I wrote about why I listen to audio books, how I write audio book reviews, and completed a fun audio book meme.
• I celebrated my favorite local indie bookstore, Hooray for Books!
• My oldest son & I did a joint review of Alison Dare: Little Miss Adventure as part of his Tales of a (Formerly) Reluctant Reader feature.
• This month’s Adventures in Parenting focused on trust.
• Registration opened for BBAW!
• I started planning for the horror/thriller feature I have planned for October.  Interested in participating by doing a guest post on your favorite thriller/horror book or movie? Have a book you’d like featured? Want to donate some prizes?  Email me at jennsbookshelfATgmail.com or fill out my Contact Me form.
