Reading Wrap-up for June at Moonshine and Rosefire
Hello everyone out there and I hope that you all had a terrific reading month for yourselves. I am known as Rosefire around the Internet and this is my new personal reading blog. I originally posted my reviews over at my daughter's blog, Emeraldfire's Bookmark but am now in the process of transferring them all over to my own blog. My daughter makes blogging look like so much fun that I thought that I would try it out for myself! :)
Anyway, I started out June with 652 unread books lying around the house and ended the month with 648 books unread. All of the books that I acquired this month came from a Library Book Sale we went to on the 1st to celebrate Mareena's birthday.
Let me try to break down the influx for you:
Re-reads:
- Duma Key by Stephen King
Changes to the TBR pile
Read from my TBR pile (Yes! I am a reading machine :))
- Ordinary People by Judith Guest
- A Summer Bird-Cage by Margaret Drabble
- The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down by Andrew Young
Added to my TBR pile (oh well, you win some and you lose some! Not too bad though, I suppose:))
- The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier
- Island Murders by Wanda Canada
- Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters
Taken off my TBR pile and sent to a new home (Yay! Happy Dance! :))
- Wither by J. G. Passarella
- Kill me Again by Leslie Rule
- The Spring of the Tiger by Victoria Holt
- Fit For Life by Harvey Diamond
- The First Mrs. Winston by Rae Foley
- Suddenly by Barbara Delinsky
- 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King
- The Queen Mother: The Story of Elizabeth, the Commoner Who Became Queen by Helen Cathcart
- The Ice House by Nina Bawden
- Voices in Summer by Rosamunde Pilcher
- Once Upon a Time: A True Tale of Memory by Harry MacLean
- Death of a Harvard Man by Simon Schama
Well, there it is...the breakdown! All in all, a very good reading month for me. Here's a further breakdown:
Books Read: 4
Pages Read: 1,641
Grade Range: A+! to A!
So, there you go! The reading month that was June. I hope that you all had an equally good reading month; if not a little better. :) See you all next month! :)

Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm a newbie as far as book blogging goes, having been blogging at my daughter's blog for only about two and a half years. Now it's time for me to get my feet wet on my own. Please be gentle with this blogger. Love to hear from you all. Have a great day! :)
