June Most-Anticipated Releases
I may be biased since it’s my birthday month, but June is coming in with some releases that make me want to abandon my entire TBR shelf and I would be insane to think this isn’t a personal gift from the book gawds, right?!
Each month I share a few books that have caught my eye and if I don’t get around to reading them as soon as I’d hope to - I would love to read your thoughts on them! If you catch yourself in the bookstore this June (let’s face it… you will) keep an eye out for some of these new releases.
