Just another view of the Charlotte area garden tour from a few months ago. So many more beautiful things to share as we wrap our own gardening for the season.

Remember… you can do hard things. I may be mentally exhausted after my anatomy and physiology final… but the important thing is I did it.

Planning on going on vacation with this family sometime in the next 2 months? This list of monthly recommendations, all of which are coming out this June, are some serious contenders for your book wishlist.

First things first, I like to include a few shout-outs about new releases that I haven’t had a chance to read yet in each book round-up, so I hope you’ll check those out along with the three books I had a chance to read this month. I try to make it through four books a month, but while working full-time and being in nursing school, I don’t have quite as much time to read as I did.

Next, I’m excited to announce that two of the authors from this month’s list will be doing Q&As here on the blog next month: Georgia Stone and Gloria Chao. Two authors I’m very glad to have had the chance to discover for the first time this month.

Keep reading to see the reviews and my ratings for this month’s must-read books.
