Recap: June 2017
May was already a month of not enough reading and somehow June got worse. I knew I would be quite busy in June but thought I would spend all my afternoons reading to relax but ended up being busy then too. I DON’T APPROVE. I’m sad how few audiobooks I manage to listen to at the moment, only one in June to be exact, which literally took me all month. I did read quite a lot of comics though (and quit reading anything else during those last two weeks LOL). I really miss reading big chunky books.
All them Books
Still very disappointed in myself that I dropped below the 50% reread mark. I would have to reread like 12 books in a row to get back to 50% and while I’m definitely gonna try, I also have some catching up to do on review copies. The reader-life is hard! Slowly getting there though because I finally reread 3 (out of 8) books again which is already better than May was. Also: LOOK AT ALL THEM 5-STAR READS! June definitely was a month of (new) favorites.
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarer #1) by Becky Chambers 
Abaddon’s Gate (The Expanse #3) by James S.A. Corey 
The Tiger’s Daughter (Their Bright Ascendency #1) by K. Arsenault Rivera

Behind the Mask: A Superhero Anthology by Various 
Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) by Victoria Schwab
Comics
I have a new obsession and that is the BatFam! My comic book reading has increased by so much lately that I might MAYBE stop tracking comics on Goodreads. They just completely blow up my reading challenge LOL.
Wonder Woman Vol.1 by Brian Azzarello
Nightwing (1995) #1-4 by Denny O’Neil 
Nightwing Year One by Scott Beatty
Robin Year One by Scott Beatty
Batgirl Year One by Scott Beatty
Monstress #7-12 by Marjorie Liu
Black Canary Vol.2 by Brenden Fletcher
Motor Cursh Vol.1 by Brenden Fletcher
Hawkeye Vol.1 by Matt Fraction
I wish I could say that my current obsession with comics is good because I bought a lot less books this month but then I spend way more money than usually because comics = $$$. NO REGRETS THOUGH because I can’t wait to read every single one I got this month.

All them movies and shows
GUESS WHO STILL HASN’T WATCHED WONDER WOMAN! *ugly tears* I also haven’t watched anything else all month but slowly made my way through a single show: The Blacklist which is GREAT.
All them songs
I certainly can’t complain about the music this month and Spotify was surprisingly good at putting together playlists this time. There were definitely a few songs that I want to add to my July list too (like Krewella’s newest one).
How was June for you? Read any good books?

Yay for the Wayward Children series! It’s one of my favorites and I can’t wait for the next one.

So the Wayfarer books are worth reading? I added the first one to my wishlist after a nice guy in Waterstones recommended it but I haven’t had a reason to actually buy it. I’M GONNA DO IT.

I think we’re going to see Wonder Women (in English) on Tuesday! Come with us? :P
I hope you get more reading time in July! I managed to read quite a few books, including a few 5-star reads, but I’m failing miserably on rereads. TSS was my first reread since March! I’ve also listened to half as many audiobooks as last year. But at least I DNF’d the terrible German one I was listening to and listened to The Providence of Fire instead. SO GOOD.
I can’t wait to read The Tiger’s Daughter! I hope I love it as much as you did.

I fully expected my June to be worse reading wise and it wasn’t which strange but I’ll take it.
LOL I still have about 3 hours on the audiobook that I started in June. It’s amazing but gah, I just need some uninterrupted time to finish it.
Don’t stop adding comics to Goodreads! Just increase your challenge. I stumbled upon someone’s profile and can you believe that person had a 2K+ challenge because all he did was read comic issues all year long haha. Channel that person. XD
I decided to get The Witch Who Came In From the Cold when I saw you add it since it was only a dollar so I hope we both like it. I really want to read Brian Azzarello’s run of Wonder Woman, I’ve heard that it’s awesome. Oh hey, time to also catch up on The Wicked + The Divine.
You should also listen to the original version of Talking Body by Tove Lo, I think you might like it. Probably less, though as it happens with listening to covers first and originals second, if ever =P
