Quick note: I am taking everyone’s advice and not forcing myself to read this week.  Instead I will watch massive amounts of guilt-free television. I think I will spend today going through the 1000+ posts in my reader to see if any of you can send me some inspiration as well.

On to real business. June ended up being a normal reading month for me despite my late-month reading funk. My biggest accomplishment was FINALLY finishing East of Eden. At the halfway mark of 2010, I am on pace to read 72 books this year which far exceeds any other year.   So here they are, my June books:

• The Summer Before by Ann M. Martin
• Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel
• East of Eden by John Steinbeck
• Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson (audio)
• America, America by Ethan Cain
• The Everlasting Now by Sara Harrell Banks

Other reviews will hopefully be coming soon. Happy July!
