I never seem to get to many books in June as it is always a busy month for me. I work full time for a university during the month, and I have to prepare for the Literary Speed Dating (pitch to the publisher day) event at the end of the June.

Here is this month’s round up:

**** “Five Forget Mother’s Day” by Enid Blyton & Bruno Vincent

****1/2  “Renascene” by Leigh Goodison
