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 649 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; I have bought books though the library book sale this month (50 cents for paperbacks, $1.00 for hardcovers. The money goes to help our library's upkeep and stocking some latest releases.) We generally try to go to the library once a month if we can.
Let me try to break down the influx for you:
Changes to the TBR pile
Read from my TBR pile (Yes! I am a reading machine :))
- Sanctuary by Nora Roberts
- The Attorney by Steve Martini
- Retribution by Jilliane Hoffman
Added to my TBR pile (oh well, you win some and you lose some! Not too bad though, I suppose:))
- Harvest by Belva Plain
- The Miracle at St. Bruno's by Philippa Carr
Taken off my TBR pile and sent to a new home (Yay! Happy Dance! :))
- Fiction 100: An Anthology of Short Stories by James H. Pickering
- Resistance by Anita Shreve
Well, there it is...the breakdown! All in all, a very good reading month for me. Here's a further breakdown:
Books Read: 3
Pages Read: 1,479
Grade Range: A! to B+!
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! :)
