June 2025 Reading Recap June was a good reading month: I read eight books, with an average rating of 3.94, including my first 5-star novel of the year!

I really enjoy Jennifer Weiner’s novels, and The Griffin Sister’s Greatest Hits is no exception. But I think I would have deleted the prologue.

What do you think, readers and writers? Any fave prologues? Which side are you usually on?

If you could invite any three people to dinner, who would be the third after you ask Greta Gerwig and Taylor Swift?

The conversation I’m sure I’ll have to have with a doctor one day:

- How did you dislocate your shoulder?

- Oh, the same way every woman living alone does, trying to reach the back zipper on my dress.
