June Wrap Up

This has been my worst reading month so far this year. I returned to work this month after maternity leave so there has definitely been a drop in my reading and my blogging as I try and find a good balance between home/organising child/work. 

 Overall I read 3 books and I am 75% of the way through a forth. I also took part in the A Game of Booksathon this month and, because we were able to use multiple prompts for books, I was able to complete 5 prompts.

Hopefully July will be a bit more successful for me. The UK school summer holidays starts half way through July so I should be able to get some more reading in when I'm not at work. 

How many books did you read in June? Which was your favourite?

    Life does tend to get in the way of your reading. I'm sure it will pick up. The three you read look good.

    It's always tough to balance blogging/ reading and life. I've seen so many amazing reviews for that Ben Galley book lately. :)

    3 books is still admirable, especially for anyone juggling work, social lives, and parenthood along with it! I just do the first two and I have trouble reading more than 4 or 5 books a month. May you find some balance in July! :)

    Reading 3 books is still a good month. Reading any books makes for a good month.

    catch up on sleep first then you can catch up on reading - the books will always be there for you

    You did well considering the work pressure going on currently. I am in a similar condition and still have to catch up on my reviews
