June Reading Wrap Up 2023

June was quite an insane month. Once again, I read less books than my average.

I finished 13 books in June (which is the lowest I can remember-ever). Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.

Top Ten Tuesday-Book Covers with colors from the US Flag

Happy Independence Day to those in the USA!!! Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Book Covers In the Colors of My Country’s Flag (It’s the 4th of July in the USA today, so tell us what country you live in and share book covers that match the colors of your country’s flag!) I am going to tweak it slightly and do Ten Books I am planning to read before the end of the year that have colors of my country's flag. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. 

Ten books that have the colors of the US Flag that I plan to read this year:

Two things drew me to The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley, the cover and the author. I have enjoyed all the books I have read by Courtney Walsh.

Cover REVEAL!!!! The Foxhole Victory Tour

It's rare for me to participate in cover reveals. However, I have LOVED all of Amy Lynn Green's books, so I decided to participate in the cover reveal for The Foxhole Victory Tour, releasing January 2024. This WWII novel follows the members of a variety show as they travel to North Africa to perform for the Allied troops with the USO.
