This Month in Books (June 2015) & July Releases

By Lipsy @lipsyy

Oh what to say about June!

June and July always seem to be the busiest months for me, trying to make the most of our very limited British summer time. This year was no different. I’ve been uber busy with work, and catching up with friends in the sun. I also got a proper holiday this year (thanks to my parents), and spent ten days on the coast of Mallorca, Spain. It was great. And now it’s all about the tennis!

But, on to the blog stats…
