I additionally may get courageous and put up my first TikTok video (the primary one appears like a lot stress!). I’d love to listen to what you have got happening!
For in the present day’s put up, I assumed I’d share a recap of the books I learn in June.

Let’s get to it, we could?
June book recap
1. Book Lovers by Emily Henry
If you’re searching for a cupcake of a book for summer time (gentle, fluffy, candy and satisfying), this is the one. It’s some of the really feel-good books I’ve learn in a very long time and I didn’t need it to finish. I LIVED for the witty banter, the Sweet Home Alabama vibe to the entire scenario, and the truth that whereas it was easy, it nonetheless had me totally intrigued and making an attempt to determine how it will finish. 10/10 would suggest diving into this one this summer time!
From Amazon:
Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s learn all of them—and she or he shouldn’t be that kind of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream lady, and particularly not the lover. In truth, the one folks Nora is a heroine for are her purchasers, for whom she lands monumental offers as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ journey away—with visions of a small city transformation for Nora, who she’s satisfied must grow to be the heroine in her personal story. But as an alternative of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a good-looking nation physician or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora retains bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from again within the metropolis. It can be a meet-cute if not for the truth that they’ve met many instances and it’s by no means been cute.
If Nora is aware of she’s not a great heroine, Charlie is aware of he’s no one’s hero, however as they’re thrown collectively many times—in a collection of coincidences no editor price their salt would permit—what they uncover may simply unravel the fastidiously crafted tales they’ve written about themselves.
2. Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow
This cookbook, by Shalene Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky, contains so many mouthwatering and wholesome recipes which can be designed to be nutrient-dense, but cooked shortly. These are the precise kind of recipes I like to make on weeknights for the household, and there are such a lot of new concepts and recipes in right here. I’m so pumped to attempt these! I’ve been in a meals rut for some time – I simply really feel sick of cooking and uninspired – and this made me excited to plan this week’s menu. We’re making Superhero Muffins, Power bowls with a inexperienced goddess tahini dressing, a frittata, and pesto pasta with sardines this week.
From Amazon:
Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. is stuffed with pre-run snacks, put up-run restoration breakfasts, on-the-go lunches, and 30-minutes-or-much less dinner recipes. Each and each recipe—from Shalane and Elyse’s signature Superhero muffins to energizing smoothies, grain salads, veggie-loaded energy bowls, selfmade pizza, and race day bars—gives gas and diet with out sacrificing style or time.
3. And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Housseini
I read this book when Liv was a child, and didn’t notice it till I used to be just a few chapters in. At this level, I used to be totally dedicated and determined to re-learn the book, which is one thing I by no means do. It was fascinating to learn these pages once more older and hopefully wiser. Khaled Housseini is brilliantly proficient and he has a approach of drawing you right into a story, and breaking your coronary heart open whereas additionally filling it with hope. (I additionally extremely suggest The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns if you happen to haven’t learn them.) This book was poignant, devastating, and explores the best way our decisions have an effect on these round us. 10/10 would suggest, particularly if you happen to get pleasure from historic fiction and plots that cowl a wide range of characters’ views.
From Amazon:
Khaled Hosseini, the quantity-one New York Times greatest-promoting writer of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a brand new novel about how we love, how we care for each other, and the way the alternatives we make resonate via generations. In this story revolving round not simply dad and mom and youngsters however brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the numerous methods by which households nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for each other; and the way typically we’re shocked by the actions of these closest to us, on the instances that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and decisions and loves across the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands regularly outward, changing into extra emotionally complicated and highly effective with every passing minute.
What was one of the best factor you learn in June? Anything that’s in your record this month?
