Reading in June


"June is bustin' out all over," (she sings while typing.) Thankfully, you cannot actually hear me as a good singing voice is something I absolutely do not have. June is a cheerful month. Not only is it the month of my birth but the roses are in flower and smell divine. I am a lover of roses and in my garden I have one called 'maiden's blush.' It is, unsurprisingly, a pale pink with a beautiful fragrance. So, this month I will be sitting by my roses, with my sun hat on my head, a drink in one hand and a book in the other. Of course, when I say drink, I actually mean a cup of tea. In my opinion there is no beverage greater.

I have several books that I would like to read this month. Of course, I may not get to read all of them or something else that I can't resist might slip itself into this months reading.

How about you? Have you anything specific in mind?
