June: My Month in Review
2 July 2017 
It’s difficult to believe that half of 2017 has already been and gone – did somebody set time to fast forward or something because to be honest its not funny any more so please stop!
Books read:
- The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden
- Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
- The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark
- Bones of the Earth by Rachel Dunne
- Borderline by Mishell Baker
- Thunderbird by Chuck Wendig
- White Lies by Zoe Markham
- Naamah’s Curse by Jacqueline Carey
My covers are here.
Some good books on this list! The Prey of Gods was excellent, I loved it and my review will follow. I have managed to review Borne and The Court of Broken Knives already. Borderline I absolutely loved and in fact have read two thirds of book two already! White Lies was really good – I’ve had this and Under My Skin for ages – White Lies is a YA set in a boarding school – I really just galloped my way through it.

I like the spider cover – it feels very relevant having finished the book.
This week sees the start of the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off ’17. More to follow shortly.
I concluded my readalong of Naamah’s Curse.
And, I won this little beauty from Titan Books:
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I so agree about the time! July already?? And I’m really curious about Children of Time, since I’m starting to see it pop up all over.
I read a really good review for Children of Time that just made me want to pick up a copy.
Wow, I love the UK cover for Lost Boy! And I nabbed Uploaded and the Emerald Circus this week as well, hope they’ll be good!
Yeah, I hope so too – I do really like the look of both.
Oh, They Mostly Come Out At Night sounds very promising and the kind of story I can’t resist! 🙂
I can’t wait to pick it up – but, I do have a bit of a heavy load for July so I’m hoping to fit some of my own books in in August/September.
Lynn 😀
I can’t believe how fast this year is going either! I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your reading and you look like you’ve got an interesting batch of new books too – I am particularly interested in Lost Boy. Happy reading in July 🙂
That was a surprise win – I’ll send it to you once I’ve finished it.
Lynn 😀
Aw, thank you!
I’ll echo your thoughts on the speed at which this year is speeding by… June was clearly a good year for you. As ever, I find myself yearning for far too many books on your lists – and I’ll be interested to see what you make of Children of Time. I think it’s one of the sharpest, most amusing and poignant science fiction reads I’ve enjoyed.
Excellent – can’t wait to read that one too. I’ve got a bit of a heavy book load for July but then I’m keeping August and September quite light – at least so far I’m managing to do so.
Lynn 😀
My load over August and September is very light because I have a ton of other work to do just then…
Good luck with it all 😀
This year really has gone quickly! I can’t believe how many books you get through! But what a great batch of books – I’m so looking forward to Princess of Blood and Children of Time. I must nip back to my parents house and pick my copy up!
Yeah, I’m hoping to get to that one soon, I’ve read glowing reviews.
Lynn 😀
