June Highlights

Oh my...it is hard for me to believe that June is already ending. Time just keeps moving by so quickly. I am happy with the amount of books I read this month. I knew that the amount of books would be dwindling some due to Cutie Pie being out of school. And summer vacation.

Other Highlights I'm Excited About:

• I won a signed annotated copy of Something Real by Heather Demetrios. I am currently reading it and absolutely LOVING it! I also love all the annotated notes. I love the story and the characters. It is just amazing and awesome. And I am so excited that I won this copy. So much fangirling and flailing coming from me. 
  
  
  

Thank you so VERY much! 

• I also won some books from Adventures in YA Publishing. Thank you once again everyone that contributed to those giveaways. I am super excited to read these three books! 
  
• This month I also requested my first three titles off of NetGalley. I was denied for the first two (which was heartbreaking for me, since they are two that I really want to read.) But I was APPROVED for the third book: Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper! Thank you SO MUCH Little Brown Books for Young Readers for approving me!!! I am really looking forward to reading this one soon and reviewing it! I was so happy when I received my approval email! 
• I am currently up to 200 followers on Twitter. I am sure it will go back down soon, since I have been fluctuating between 187 and 195 followers this month. But I was pretty excited when I saw that 200 number on my Twitter profile! I appreciate my followers, it gives me a nice heartwarming feeling. 
  

Things I am Working on:

• I am still working on publishing some older and newer reviews. As well as writing up some Mini Reviews.
• I have been falling behind on commenting on other blogs and responding to comments on mine. I hope to find some time to catch up on commenting. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful June! Anything amazing happen in June you want to share? Awesome giveaways? Meet some authors? Maybe something non-bookish happened and it was exciting?
