My June 2020 Reading Update

Bonnie and Clyde wish you a Happy Canada Day

Jo and I and the puppies are having a relaxing day so far. It's sunny, cool and breezy. I think I'll be bbq'ing burgers for dinner tonight. Right now though below is my Reading update for June. I'm happy with my progress and hope it continues for the last half of the year.
