June Round-Up

July is here already! Not gonna lie, that feels a little bonkers. On the downside, it's been crazy hot and, once again, I'm reminded just how much I loathe summer weather. On the upside, I did a TON of baking and reading in June. I didn't realize how much, actually, but I'm not mad about it. Lol

Most of the bakes were fine, but not fantastic enough to type up recipes to share. Some of the books were really fantastic, which was a delight. I've also been very strategcially taking advantage of a one-month purchase of Kindle Unlimited in order to get a handful off my TBR that weren't available at our libraries. Sorta mixed results on enjoyment of those, but for the cost of one month, I'll make the most out of it. Have you baked or read anything fantastic lately? Cheers to crossing the mid-year line!
