Books I read in June

It didn't feel like I read all that many books in June (compared to other months). I'm not sure why. Considering how busy my month was that's quite a few. There were none that were DNF this month (which was nice) but there was one that almost made that rating. There were a couple that were OHMYGOD fabulous... (Anya Bast - what can I say? Her first book published by Berkley was incredible. I can't wait to read more. Kelley Armstrong is always amazing, I loved Colleen Gleason's second book in her series and then a new to me author, Rachel Vincent, is a new person I'm going to be adding to my authors to watch list.)
