June 2020 Summary

Previous month

June 2020 Summary: 07/01/20

June continued the COVID-19 shelter in place, although with some modifications to what was allowed to be open. The bookstore can now do curbside pick-up or drop offs at the coffee shop. The protests have died down for now and the daily COVID-19 case numbers are reaching new and staggering records. In the middle of this my husband and our oldest child drove down to Los Angeles to find an apartment for the fall. UCLA has rescinded its housing and dining promises, meaning it's off campus living for the next four years. July should have been our 25th wedding anniversary road trip to Canada, but we are stuck at home because of COVID-19.

I read one less book in June, 28, up from May's 29. I just missed my diverse reading goal. I did however put together a Black author index for my blog.

On the reviews front, I had a good month, with eighteen books qualifying.

I still have 2018, 2019, and 2020 read books to post on my blog. My reviews to post from 2018 is down to 10 from 13, and my 2019 books to review are down to 11 from 16. This year's books are at 71 of the 178 books read.
