What I’ve Read – June 2019

Jun 1, 2019 | What I've Read

Thankfully, life started to settle, although I still didn’t read as many books as I wanted to. It seems as though I started a lot of books but I didn’t finish them!

I really enjoyed Rusty, Buster and Patch versus the Opera, and Erratically Epic by Adam Wallace. Both of these chapter books are quick reads and very, very funny. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy these books.

I also read Cheeky Charlie by Ben Redlich. It’s a cute picture book that I picked up in a waiting room.

Every day I hope the fog in my head will clear a little more and I’ll be able to read a few more books. Chapter books and picture books seem to be my go-to reads at the moment as they are a lot easier to focus on at the moment.
