We’re into June already. Solstice month. As I write this the sun is shining and I am intending on sitting in the garden to read a little more of the Kathleen Jamie book I have just started. This is the planned TBR for this month. though I have a strong feeling it will change as I have some incoming library reservations that I am sure have lots of other reservations of them.

So are there any from that list that you have read, or now seeing them, now want to read? Let me know in the comments below.
How funny – I’ve just received In Search of the Perfect Peach and Lifelines from Bookish Beck and picked up the Robin Ince last month, so quite a lot of overlap though I don’t think I’ll read any of those this month given my rather terrifying reading schedule. Out of the others, the Rob Cowen looks most intriguing and I’ll look out for your review of that one.
