Cinfhen That‘s sooo funny, at least I know I wasn‘t having a senior moment 7y

The End of Your Life Book Club | Will Schwalbe

My book journal wrap-up for June!

This was a pretty good month for reading, in addition to the 6 I finished, there are several more I started and am still working on. I also participated in the #Riotgrams and #HeyJune photo challenges (the chart on the side tracks my posts - X means I did posted that day). I didn‘t do a good job of posting reviews, though, but you can see my GR star ratings next to the titles.

Kimberlone FYI: Sense and Sensibility is NOT the Jane Austen one, but a modern retelling that was just OK

Sense & Sensibility

Mdargusch Nice journal! I love that you keep track of photo challenges. 👍🏼 7y

But first, June wrap up !

The Bookshop of Yesterdays | Amy Meyerson

So... #yesterday was mostly taken up with a little road trip to Philadelphia—getting ready to go, traveling on a bus, and watching the game. The WiFi on the bus was pretty wimpy (we also had to switch buses halfway because of no A/C 😮), and there was no WiFi at CBP! Anyway, the game was meh, but the fireworks afterwards were spectacular.

I‘ll BBL with monthly wrap up. #HeyJune

Cinfhen, GypsyKat

GypsyKat Fun! 🎇🎆 7y

Leftcoastzen Yay baseball ! Yesterday I was at Dbacks /Giants . As a Giants fan, very happy for a win! 7y

Things Ain't What They Used to Be | Philip Glenister

"Yesterday / All my troubles seemed so far away..."
This was the first book to pop into my head when I thought of that first line.
#HeyJune

I had a lot of fun with this challenge! ?

Anton I'm rewatching series 3 of Ashes To Ashes as we speak! 7y

rabbitprincess @Anton I haven't seen Ashes to Ashes yet! I loved Life on Mars though. 7y

Anton As much as I love Life On Mars, I like Ashes To Ashes a bit more. I definitely recommend it, it's less a sequel and more one story told over 5 seasons. 7y

rabbitprincess @Anton It sounds great! Will definitely have to check it out. 7y

Although I don‘t have a 45 Rpm record of #Yesterday, I couldn‘t let the last days of #HeyJune go by. Yes, I still have a lot of my old 45s and albums. I guess I can‘t forget yesterday. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for a great trip down my Beatles Memory Lane!

The Beatles: The Biography | Bob Spitz

#HeyJune #Yesterday

I bought this tank top yesterday (get it?) At Target. It has been so much fun following along with the Beatles themed prompts, even though I lost momentum towards the end of the month. But I don‘t feel too bad because I was juggling two photo challenges this month and have completed more prompts than on any prior challenge I‘ve participated in.
