Location: Great Lakes, USA		I loved Watership Down! I borrowed it from the library in 7th grade and liked it so much that I bought my own copy and read it again. Definitely a classic!

Books Read in June:

Harbinger of the Storm - 4 stars - Sequel, Authors, Trilogy, 35
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves - 2 stars - WoGF, Pick and Mix, Nebula
Wakulla Springs - 3.5 stars - Creature
The Mothers of Voorhisville - 3.5 stars - WoGF (totally random pick - found this on the Tor website while looking for Nebula nominated novellas)
A Stranger in Olondria - 2 stars - WoGF, Nebula, 35

I also read all the Hugo nominated short fiction. Six Gun Snow White, The Lady Astronaut of Mars, and Wakulla Springs would count for the Short Fiction Challenge, if I decide to add that. The Mothers of Voorhisville and Burning Girls, which I also read this month, would count as short fiction as well. I might add it since I will be reading the retro Hugo short fiction this month. I'll have to see how many of those are in the database.


Favorite Book of June - Harbinger of the Storm - 2nd in the Obsidian and Blood Trilogy.
Favorite Book of 2014 so far - Annihilation

I'm 51% through Ash, so I will probably finish the WoGF Challenge in July.
