June 2023 Reading Wrap-up

Hi, everyone!!

June 2023 was another great month for reading! But my BFF vacation and Father’s Day weekend cut significantly into my reading for the month! That’s the beauty of reading – you can read WHENEVER you have the time. Total flexibility!!

The best book of June 2023: Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See. I have loved and read EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK that she has written. This book is just AMAZING!

I have two front runners for my BOOK OF THE YEAR - The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende and Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See. I read them a month apart so time will tell which one will become my favorite!
