The Sunday Salon: June Favorites

This is my second Sunday Salon post. And I thought I would take a relaxed approach this week (and every week in all honesty) to reflect back on June's reading. If my numbers seem a bit larger than usual, blame it on the 48 Hour Readathon and the 24 Hour Readathon hosted by MotherReader and Dewey.
