xenithJune is a particularly important month in this 100 books in a year thing because the end of the month is halfway, so one needs to have read at least 50 books!
I didn't write many reviews this month, so I'll be lazy and just paste the titles & authors.
June was interesting. Firstly because I discovered the advantage of starting early in the month (3 books in the first three day). Secondly, well, have I ever mentioned I haven't read a SF novel in something like 20 years? :)
Shapechangers, Jennifer Roberson
The Early Days of St Patrick's River and District, E.R. Richards
Thieves' World 08: Soul of the City, Robert Lynn Asprin ed.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick
Komarr, Lois McMaster Bujold
A Civil Campaign, Lois McMaster Bujold
Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said, Philip K. Dick
Diplomatic Immunity, Lois McMaster Bujold
Thieves' World 09: Blood Ties, Robert Lynn Asprin ed.
The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle
So that's 12 books for the month!
And 54 for the year-to-date!!

Not much actually happens in The Dispossessed but I found it definitely worth reading.
