Hello everyone! I can’t believe June is over! It feels like it went by so fast yet so slow (which is how quarantine has felt for me in general). I mostly spent this month reading, blogging, writing, and going to virtual theatre camp (which ended up being so much fun).
I have read 15 books this month, which is a little fewer than last month, but still a lot!
Here are some of the best books that I read this month:
- The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
- The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
- Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
- You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah Johnson
This month I did my first book tags, which is really exciting for me! I did the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag and I was also nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award. I will have more tags in the coming weeks too!
In terms of writing, I challenged myself to write one thousand words a day, something I kept up with throughout the end of May and all of June. I have over 40,000 words, and it feels really good to accomplish something like that.
In general, I have been able to work on a lot of things for myself this month, not just in writing and blogging. I have been redoing my room (hopefully I’ll get more bookshelf space, yay!) which has been pretty fun.
Here are the books that I want to read in July (most are coming out this month too!):
- Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender (This was on last month’s list, but my library hasn’t gotten it yet so I’ll probably have to buy it)
- When You Were Everything by Ashley Woodfolk (I ordered this book, but it has been backordered, so I’m hoping I’m able to read it sometime this month)
- Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kahn (I ordered this book, it should be coming in sometime in the next week)
- Dress Coded by Carrie Firestone
- The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
- 10 Things I Hate About Pinky by Sandhya Menon
- Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Ruby Reads and Reviews 
15 books, so many! I think I read about 10 books in June. The Black Flamingo is on my reading list for this month – really looking forward to it because it seems to be very well loved. I’m curious about Let’s Talk About Love though because I’ve heard mixed things about it. I want to try give it a go but I have so many books to read at the moment I probably won’t get to it for a while.
I really hope you like The Black Flamingo! Fifteen books is kind of a lot, but I’ve had tons of time since school is over and I’m still stuck at home. I am definitely very interested to read Let’s Talk About Love, my copy of it just arrived, so I’ll probably read it in the next couple of weeks.
Well I look forward to reading your review on Let’s Talk About Love, if you plan on reviewing it – I have told myself to stop buying books until I catch up on what I have but then again, I’m easily persuaded by reviews to buy books!
