June Reads Galore

June was a month full of books. Even though it might seem like I did nothing but read, I also spent a day on a district math curriculum committee, took a four-day class, took a trip to Seattle and the Oregon Coast, and spent some time thinking school. :)

My favorites: 

* Cinder and its sequels (a.k.a. The Lunar Chronicles) - This is a futuristic fantasy YA series. I found the last of the series slightly predictable at times but so very engaging.

* Graceling - This is another fantasy YA book. I didn't want to put it down.

* If You Find Me - This YA realistic fiction is gripping and full of secrets.

* Goodbye Stranger - I really enjoyed this YA too. It has its share of secrets too.

*The Elephant Whisperer - This book is for animal lovers. The book will give you a new appreciation for elephants and the people who work with them.

I noticed that some of the books that I didn't rate highly did very well on Goodreads, so I guess you can't believe everything you read on my blog. :)

P.S. My summer book total since school ended is 26 books. Not too shabby.
