Comments - I loved having no reins on my reading this month! It was lovely to allow my moods to determine my next reads. There were definitely some misses in there, but I knocked out a ton of titles from my bigger TBR. And we managed to watch some great television this month (hello Loki!!!!). Looking forward to what is July brings!
