Here’s what I planned to read in June:

• Val Kilmer’s I’m Your Huckleberry: A Memoir
• Brene Brown’s Dare to Lead
• Gary Paulsen’s Northwind
• Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing
• Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo
• Scott Snyder’s A.D. After Death

Here’s what I actually read…

• Val Kilmer’s I’m Your Huckleberry
• Gary Paulsen’s Northwind
• Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
• Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff’s Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry
• Scott Snyder’s A.D. After Death

At the last second, we changed our book club book from Dare to Subtle. I tried twice to start Crawdads and was bored to tears both times and replaced it with Signal. I got about halfway through Apollo and am liking it, but didn’t want to carry that weighty tome in my carry-on luggage and decided not to finish it until after vacation.

For July, I will read/finish:

Glennon Doyle’s Untamed for the book club

Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon, book 1 (I fully expect this one to take me a while, maybe two months)

Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility

Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo: The Epic Tale of Harlem’s Legendary Theater

I think I’ll just stick with four for this month. I really want to see how I do with Altered Carbon with as little pressure from other books as possible (Untamed and Sea are audiobooks). I may add another graphic novel if I find something interesting but I’m on a bit of a slowdown there lately and want to get back into it more naturally.
