Month in Review: June

Here's a recap of my reading and reviewing for June. This is also a look at the first half of 2014. It's hard to believe the year is half over!! I have a very different focus this year than other years, with the majority of my books falling into the middle-grade fiction genre. My son's participation on the Battle of the Books in the spring really had an impact on my reading! I also notice I have been reading about half of my books for review and the other half just because I want to read them (or for book club). I am enjoying this mix!
