As June was approaching and I spotted a tweet on Twitter from Cathy about this year's reading challenge. I wasn't sure whether to do it or not, as life can get in the way and I have loads going on at the moment. I do have a love of reading and 20 books in the 3 months of June, July and August doesn't sound too many or does it?
Well I decided that I would do it and here is my roundup of the books that I have read.
The list below is what I chose to definitely commit to reading.
1. Love in Lockdown by Chloe James. NetGalley.
2. Mismatched in Manhattan by Tash Skilton. NetGalley.
3. Scandalous Lies by Nigel May. NetGalley.
4. The Shadow Man by Helen Fields. BorrowBox via Library.
5. The Vanishing Half by Britt Bennett. Library.
6. Saving the World ~ Women: The Twenty First Century's Factor for Change by Paola Diana. Personal copy for taking part in the Blog tour.
7. The Last Wilderness a Journey into Silence by Neil Andrew. Library.
8. A Million Dreams by Dani Atkins. Library.
9. Flying the Nest by Joy Norstrom. Digital copy from TBConFB reviewer group.
10. An Offer from a Gentleman (Bridgertons #3) by Julia Quinn. Library.
