Monthly Roundup - June 2012

Hard to believe that 2012 is already half gone! June has been all about A Victorian Celebration and focusing on 19th century classics. I've been enjoying this event immensely and looking forward to more in July.

Another successful Literary Giveaway Blog Hop this week - the winner of my giveaway was Tanja from Bosnia and Herzegovina and I hope she enjoys her choice of book.

What's ahead in July

More of the same - the Victorian Celebration continues with lighter contemporary fiction for relaxing at the weekends.

This year I cut back hard on challenges and am making good progress with the few I did join so I'm going to sign up for the Canadian Book Challenge 6 which begins tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a great July!
