Unfortunately, this year June means thesis deadline and oral presentation. That’s fine though because finally I’m one step closer to getting my master degree. Anyway, I did read 5 books and one novella in June. I’m so proud of myself because I only read two books in May. That’s quite an improvement. So, here’s the books I read in June.

This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
