A few months ago (in March and April), I said that starting these monthly round-ups made me realize how little reading I had gotten done (much to my dismay)! Well, I feel like I’ve made a good dent in my TBR list this month – finally! Maybe it was because there are so many great books out for summer! I’ve continued to add more books to my 2014 Summer Reading List, so check it out!
I was also featured on Book Bloggers International on June 26! I shared some background about my blog and answered some bookish questions (Do I write in books?, Do I always finish books or not?, What’s the last book I re-read?, and more). Check it out here!
On to the round-up…

Looks like you had a great month! So excited you’re planning to read The Wife, it’s one of my favorites 🙂
I first added it to my TBR list after reading your review awhile back! I’ve been meaning to get to it for months now, but ARCs keep getting in the way. I’m slowing down my ARCs now that summer is well under way, so I promised I’ll get to it soon! I’ve wanted to read something else by her ever since I read The Interestings.
Thanks for stopping by!
It looks like a great month for you!
It looks like you had a great reading month. Congratulations on being featured on Book Bloggers International. I will check it out!
What a great month for you!! I’ve been hearing so much about Fever lately–cool that it made your (tied) top pick for the month. I really need to get back into the cooking posts. I HAVE been cooking this year so I’m not sure why I’ve gone away from Weekend Cooking. Miss it!
Hope July is just as great for you!
Congratulations to you as well – I read your 10 month post! Such a cutie pie and special time – I have a 15 month old daughter, so we’re just a bit ahead of you. Definitely come back to Weekend Cooking – I think it’s a great meme!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great holiday!
I’ve read 6 from this list — Dollbaby is one I hope to try as well. Happy July.
Wow! Fantastic month!
You did a nice interview about your blog. Cheers.
