June 2017 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started June with 213 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …214! I got a good amount of reading done this month, even though quite a bit of it was re-reading, and none of it was from my TBR pile. But hey, reading is reading! I also (finally) (FINALLY) got some reviews written. I’m trying to work at my review backlog from both ends, working on the oldest books first but also reviewing new books as I finish them. Some of them have been (and are going to be) pretty short, since I don’t always remember a lot of details of stuff that I read more than a year ago. But I’ll keep chipping away.

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Read But Not Owned (Books) – The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan – The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) – Soviet Daughter by Julia Alekseyeva – The Wicked and the Divine Vol. 4: Rising Action by Kieron Gillen – Paper Girls Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan (review coming soon)
Re-Reads – Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling – Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon – The Wicked and the Divine Vol. 3: Commercial Suicide by Kieron Gillen

Changes to the TBR pile

Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)	Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– Saga, Vol. 6 by Brian K. Vaughan	– Saga, Vol. 7 by Brian K. Vaughan
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas	– O Jerusalem by Laurie R. King
* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
