*Platypire Read-A-Thon* June

June is here which means it's time to update my Platypire Read-A-Thon reading list again. This thing just keeps getting longer and longer. One of these days, I'm pretty sure my friends are going to stage an intervention, or they would if I lived on the same continent as they do (I just don't see an internet intervention being particularly effective.) So if you have any interest in seeing what I "plan" to read this month, take a gander at my updated list. And if you'd like to compare my current list to my June list from last year, you can do so here.

I have added 14 books this month (which is one more than I read on the average month, 2 more than I've read the past two months), but half of those are illustrated children's books (I'm trying to improve my Negalley feedback percentage significantly and quickly...children's books help). Like I said at the end of my May results post, I am going to try to read more this month (and I fully intend to at least finish the 7 children's books). We shall see how well I do. - Katie
