Monthly Round Up – June 2015 – The Curious Ginger Cat

Hi everyone! Welcome to my first every monthly round up. I’m having a bit of difficulty keeping track of everything I’ve read/received each month, so I thought a monthly round up would help me to keep track of everything as well as, hopefully, being interesting for you to read! The format of this post is still a WIP, so may change a bit over the next few months. Please bear with me whilst I figure out what works best for me and my readers!

June has been a good month for me! The weather warmed up nicely, I’ve read some great books and I’ve got some fab new additions to my TBR list.
