The year is half over! Yes you heard that right, we are halfway through 2019! How on earth did that happen?! June was not a great reading month for me, we had company at our house nearly all month, hubby was on vacation almost all month, school got out, baseball ended and major house construction is in full swing. With all of that I am just happy I got any reading done.

January Reading Stats:
I read a total of 18 books this month
3,008 pages read and 1 day, 8 hours and 1 minute of listening
Resolutions Check in:
1. Borrow More Books: I did borrow a couple of books this month, though at least for next month this will be cut back because I just have too many on my shelves to read. - CHECK
2. Purchase Less Books: Lat year in June I added 20 books to my shelves, this year I added 21. For the second month in a row I failed at this, time for a bit of a shopping ban! - :(
3. Read Big Books: I squeaked in just at the end of the month with a 527 page book, I didn't even realize Crazy Rich Asians was that long! - CHECK
4. Re-Read More: I have not re-read anything in the past couple of months but again I have so many new books to get to, I am okay with this for now. - :(
5. Put Less Pressure and Stress on Myself: With how busy this month is, I had no choice but to let some things slide. I am actually surprised with how calm I have been about the missed posts on here and on my Instagram, even the lack of reading going on. - CHECK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I have been a little too laid back with my TBR, I am a goal oriented person and need that extra drive sometimes to read more. While I am giving myself a tougher TBR this month, I am picking some lighter reading. So in addition to my Medieval Readathon TBR (posted yesterday) here are the books I want to read in July . . .

Highland Crown
