What I read in June (or better, did NOT read)

I did not actually finish any books this month. Family friends returned library books that would otherwise have been overdue.

Here's a list of recommended summer books instead. Julie has a similar list with no seasonal restrictions. And my favorite curmudgeon has a rant up about a book to avoid that is not by Dan Brown.

If you like Julie's list, you might also like the following Listmania lists that I placed on Amazon back before North Carolina made it impossible for state residents to profit from product referrals on that site (not that my lists ever made money, but now the political critters have seen to it that they never will):

Catholic Christianity made easy but not stupid (originally created in 2003)

Great Religious Fiction (originally created in in 2002)

I like both lists, but they're little more than time capsules now. From the email explaining why:

"We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to notify you that your Associates account has been closed as of June 26, 2009. This is a direct result of the unconstitutional tax collection scheme expected to be passed any day now by the North Carolina state legislature (the General Assembly) and signed by the governor. As a result, we will no longer pay any referral fees for customers referred to Amazon.com or Endless.com after June 26. We were forced to take this unfortunate action in anticipation of actual enactment because of uncertainties surrounding the legislation’s effective date."

Read so far this year: 18 books (that total has not changed since May)

Previously in this series:
