June 2009 Wrap Up

July 1, 2009 by Darlene


June was a pretty good month although with that wicked migraine for a week and a half I fell behind in what I wanted to get finished. Hopefully I can pick up the extra couple of books in July. I managed to read nine books which seems pretty standard for me. I sure wish I could manage more but that’s ok. Here’s the list for June…

  1. Best Intentions by Emily Listfield (338 pgs)
  2. In Over Her Head by Judi Fennell (347 pgs)
  3. Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel (247 pgs)
  4. Secrets to Happiness by Sara Dunn (277 pgs)
  5. The Painter From Shanghai by Jennifer Cody Epstein (408 pgs)
  6. The Good Mayor by Andrew Nicoll (340 pgs)
  7. The Walking People by Mary Beth Keane (392 pgs)
  8. Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler (289 pgs)
  9. Beach Trip by Cathy Holton (406 pgs)

My favorites were Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict and The Painter From Shanghai.

So, onwards to July. I’m almost done a book I’m reading so July will start off perfect with a review right away. I hope everyone has had a good month and that July will be even better. Tomorrow is Canada’s birthday! Yahoooo!

    Great list, Dar. A few of those are on my TBR list and I hope to read them soon.

    Despite all my time off of work, June turned out to be the slowest month for me. I guess I really do depend on those audiobooks to get all the reading done that I want! Nice job for you this month!

    What a nice selection – you had a good month despite the headache!

    We had several overlaps – my favorites were LAST NIGHT IN MONTREAL, THE PAINTER FROM SHANGHAI, and RUDE AWAKENINGS.

    I can't believe you have your wrap up posted already! I haven't even started thinking about mine. You read some great books this month – we only shared Beach Trip – but I have a couple of the others in my review stack!

    Too bad about the migrane but you still made out pretty well. I don't post monthly updates because they are so dang pitiful! 🙂 My overtime at work is hopefully over, though, so I should be getting a little more reading and blogging done. Woohoo!

    Hope July is even better for you.

    Wow, great month. I have to go back and make a list of mine.
    Rude Awakenings sounds very interesting.

    Thanks everyone for your comments on my June wrap up.

    Lenore, I think I do read a lot of women authors as a rule. You have me curious now to take a closer look. lol.

    Trish I'm glad things will be slowing down for you. It'll be nice to see you around more again.
