Becky's Book Reviews: June Reflections

June Reflections

In June 2021 I read twenty-five books. Twenty-one were review copies. Three were books I bought. One was a gift from a friend. Fifteen were new-to-me. Ten were rereads.

Most of the books that I gave five stars to this month were rereads. And many were also children's books. I think I have more five-star reviews in June than in previous months. But I think rereading has a lot to do with it!

I am making progress in my Wheel of Time series.
