My June 2021 Reading Update

My slowest reading month in a long while. Partly because I had two very big books that I never managed to complete during the month. This past week it's been so hot that I haven't felt much like doing anything. So with that whiny excuse mongering out of the way, here is my look at my June 2021 Reading.
