June flew by much more quickly than I'd expected! I did get a decent amount of reading done, although I never feel like it's enough.
June's Books Completed and Reviewed
Mortal Arts by Anna Lee Huber - Loved reading the second Lady Darby mystery along with the author and many other fans in the Lady Darby Read-Along group on Facebook, even though I was a little behind the pace of the group! (Read my full review HERE)
Heart of a Runaway Girl by Trevor Wiltzen - Mabel owns the motel and diner in a forgotten little mining town, but she does a little detective work of her own when she's convinced that a young man charged with murder isn't the real killer. (Read my full review HERE)
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien - I read this with my co-op Lit class and had finished it quite some time ago, but was slow to get a review posted here on the blog. Loved reading this beloved classic again! (Read my full review HERE)
The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik - Just finished last night so watch for the review in a day or two! Emma Draycott remains loyal to her fiance Stephen even when he raises the suspicions of her parents and a Secret Service man. Is he trustworthy, or is she just refusing to see what they do?
The Inviting Life by Laura Calder - a practical and amusing little guidebook that is also somewhat of a memoir.
A Grave Matter - Anna Lee Huber - Just got started on the third Lady Darby novel, and hopefully will be able to finish on time!
Between the Wild Branches by Connilyn Cossette - The newest novel from Cossette follows a young Philistine man after he leaves the Hebrew clan that had adopted him and his sister.
The Beachcomber's Companion by Anna Marlis Burgard - a pretty and compact guidebook to help you identify the shells you collect at the beach.
The Only Woman in the Room - Marie Benedict

I've been meaning to read some Anna Lee Huber books for some time. I realy need to start that. I've also been intending to read The Only Woman in the Room (and a few other Marie Benedict books) for some time. Ah, intentions.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your June reads and blogging, and happy reading for July!
I haven't tried the Lady Darby books yet, but I do enjoy Huber's other series. I would love to revisit The Hobbit again. I am glad you enjoyed rereading it. I hope you have a good July!
ReplyDeleteJune FLEW BY for me too! Can't believe it's over! Looks like you had a great reading month. Happy reading in July!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to find a copy of the shell identification book. I have a jar of Atlantic beach finds that I would love to know more about. I hope you are having a wonderful July!
