two friends and too many books
Everyone needs friends, and I am no exception. It’s not a department that I’ve always been really rich in in my life, but right now I am lucky to have some wonderful friends. They are beacons in my life, and I’m so glad to know them. Another beacon in my life is books. Books are something that have always been in my life, and it’s easy to draw parallels between them and the important friends someone has in their life.

I can’t believe another month has come and gone and that here I am doing another TBR post. School is officially out and I officially have a bit more free time than I did before. I’m looking forward to getting in some relaxation and lots of reading.
June is always a crazy month in the life of a teacher. You’re exhausted and ready for summer, and so are the kids. Then it becomes time for report cards and you go a little crazy trying to get all the marks in so you can finalize the grades, and then you have to write comments. To top all of that off, I also came down with a cold in June, so it probably wasn’t my best reading month ever. That being said, I still read a fair few things and I really enjoyed a lot of them! Without further ado, please check out my wrap up below the cut! 🙂
I felt like I kept my book buying to a minimum in June. I hauled six books, which is maybe not super reasonable in terms of shelf space but in comparison to some past months where I went a little crazy with my purchases, I felt pretty good about this one. One was a preorder, one was from an order last month, one was from Owl Crate, and then three were from my trip to the bookstore with my boyfriend this month. I’ve also already read two of these! 🙂 Without further ado, let’s jump into the list of books I hauled in June.
One of my all time favourite shows from this past year is The Haunting of Hill House, the Netflix original series based on the novel by the same name by Shirley Jackson.
Reading is one of those equal opportunity hobbies. You don’t need to schedule it; you can just fit it in whenever you want, and whenever you have time. Personally, I like to read in every free second I can find.
