In this week's episode, I'm sharing all 17 books I read in June—and it was definitely a mixed bag. While I found a few enjoyable reads, only two earned my full recommendation, so I'm breaking down what worked, what didn't, and which books are actually worth adding to your TBR.

I'm also sharing a quick podcast update before signing off for a July break. Thank you for listening, supporting the show, and spending your reading life with me. I'll be back soon with more bookish conversations and recommendations!
