Believe it or not, it's time for another Month in Review post! (Thanks to Crystal at Just Another Book Lovin' Girl for the great idea!) The year is halfway over—how did that happen?! This month was a bit different for me. I had all these goals of what I was going to read, but I ended up in a bit of a slump. At one point, I went NINE DAYS without finishing a single book! Crazy, huh?! I did read some really great books, though, so without further ado, here's my Month in Review!
Books Read [9]
Favorite book this month?
I'm going with my gut on this one: Glamorous Illusions. It was so good . . . too bad I have to wait several months for the next installment!

Other Noteworthy Posts / Happenings
- I started posting a few Summer Reading picks on Mondays and hope to do so through the end of the summer. Hopefully, it will help you find just the book you're looking for while you have a little extra time to read this summer!
- I'm going to start posting a travel feature called The Travel Bug when the mood strikes. I'm hoping this will be a regular occurrence. :)
Well, it seems that June was a bit busier than I realized. What have you been up to this month?!
