June was a pretty busy month for us. We went on a short trip down to the coast last week. NC residents are lucky that we have both mountains and coast in our state. We live in the middle more or less so three or four hours and we can be at either. We went on a historical tour of New Bern, NC, rode a ferry, had homemade ice cream and took a two hour cruise. It was a well deserved break. In huge news, our newest granddaughter was born on June 30th. I can't wait to see and hold this already loved little one.
In book news, I read twenty four books in June. I'm working away on reading and streeting books I've had here for years and making some progress. I'm about 2/3 of the way through all the Karin Slaughter books and working away at all my anthologies. I only have two more books in The Wheel Of Time. Unfortunately, for clearing out shelves, I went on a Claire North binge a few weeks ago so I need to find time to read all of those. Here's what's come through the doors:
