What June Brought

Ah, yes. Summer is officially here to stay. The time of sunburns and loads of free time. Besides the sunburns, June was a pretty good month. With the help of readathons, I got out of my annoying reading slump, so I did okay reading-wise, but with the aforementioned loads of free time, I was expecting to get a little-that's sarcasm, just to be clear- more reading done. I attempted to study during part of June for the ACT, but of course I still was pretty unprepared. I'm not devastated by my score and it was what I was expecting to get, but now I really have to get myself to devote more time to studying everyday for a few more months until the next ACT test to get the score I really want. I already have tons of reading plans for July and August, but I have a trip midway through July, so it probably will screw it up a bit because I'm horrible at reading anywhere else other than my house.
Here's what I read:
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi(I actually read most of this in May, but I finished it in June, so in terms of my total pages read this month, I will only include the 70 pages I read in June. This is my third time rereading it, and never get tired of it.) The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar(Very cute and very much what I was expecting, but it had some unexpected deeper moments.) Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales(I didn't love it like This Song Will Save Your Life, but it was still very good. Check out my review here.) Saga Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples(PURE AWESOMENESS. I'm 90% sure I will be making a post to point out the reasons you should check it out.) Saga Volume 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples Saga Volume 3 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
Total pages read: 1, 196

Here's what I watched:
Well, admittedly, I usually watch more TV in the summer, but I did resist the temptation a little this month. Fringe(I watched the first season around October-ish time last year, and finally started watching the second season and also finished it this month. SOOOOO GOOODD.) The Bachelorette(I'm really regretting the decision to watch this. Looking at you, Kaitlyn. And the producers.) Mask(I tried watching the first episode multiple times, but all the seriousness was killing me. I finally got through that first episode and then binged the next five episodes. I'm glad I continued with it, even if melodramas aren't usually my thing. I do partially wish the main character had a bit more of a backbone, but overall, she isn't bad.)
Here's what I listened to: My music tastes have been all over this month, so I will just include some of the highlight artists of the month. Florence + The Machine(It seems I can never be unhappy with their songs.) Haim Bleachers OneRepublic
