June 2014 In Review // Monthly Reflections

Hello bookish friends! It's been a while since we've posted a month in review blog post, sharing the books we read in the previous month. So I thought now would be a good time to get back into sharing our month in books review, since the first days of July are already here! I hope that you will share with us in the comments what you read in June, or let us know if you have read any of the below books yourself, and what you thought of them! We always love hearing what you've been reading, and hope you enjoy seeing what we read this past June!
