June Reading Goals

June’s reading is going to be a little different, though I loved the structure of the alphabet challenge in May. But June is (maybe) my last summer month at home, so I’m having a clear-the-shelves sprint. (I’m traveling in July and part of August, and I have a lot of new books coming, so it’s best that I read off the shelf while I’m home, rather than travel with books I’ve owned for ages.) And no non-fiction/morning reading. Trying to get as much done on my diss this month as possible, and so I’m switching it up by hitting the work first thing, instead of after an hour or so of reading. (Maybe some poetry in the morning if this feels untenable.) All of these, except possibly Ahab’s Wife, are read-then-donate books, so this feels like an excellent chance to clear some space.

The list of 10:

• The Vanishing Half, Brit Bennett (off the shelf, gift from C)
• Marilla of Green Gables, Sarah McCoy (off the shelf, gift from C)
