June Reading Wrap-Up

2009 at 8am     Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky

By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be in the car with hubby and the hound dog, somewhere between Richmond and St. Louis. We’re heading off on a roadtrip to visit family, eat at all of our favorite restaurants, and enjoy our yearly tradition of seeing fireworks at the Arch. We’re armed with audio books, a pile of books from our personal TBRs, snacks, sodas, and a whole lot of hope that traffic and construction won’t be too crazy.

I read seven books in June and posted eight reviews (I read The Angel’s Game in March but waited to post my review on its release date this month), and I’m pretty happy with everything I read. Check it out (covers linked to my reviews).

It’s hard to pick favorites this month because everything was good. That’s a nice problem to have, you know? Last Days of Summer was definitely the most unexpectedly wonderful read this month, though, and Beowulf on the Beach? Well, it was pure awesomeness.

What was the best book you read in June?

    Okay, it’s too weird, but I just saw a copy of Last Days sitting on a stack of my son’s things in the garage. Is that book calling to me or what?!

    From the cover I wouldn’t have picked Beowulf on the Beach to be the top pick. I’ll have to give that one a closer look.

    St. Louis! The hometown! (for me) Enjoy the fireworks at the Arch I hope Ted Drewes is also on the agenda. :)

    Sounds like a great trip and I’ll bet the Arch makes a spectacular background for fireworks. Enjoy!

    We’re going to Lion’s Choice (hubby’s favorite) for lunch today and will definitely hit Ted Drewes at least once!

    My fave book of June was The Divorce Party by Laura Dave. I also loved The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. Have a fantastic trip.

    Well, I’m still waiting for my copy of Angel’s Game to arrive. For the month of June, I would say the best read is Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone. It’s rare to find a mystery/thriller that is also very “literary.”

    Looks like you had a great month in books.

    BTW, I really like the way the book covers have links to your reviews … very nice design!

Got something to say?
