June 2024 Wrap Up – Well managed month

June 2024 Wrap Up
June Highlights
I’m satisfied with this month as I could balance thing better. It wasn’t throughout the month but some weeks I could find more time for reading and blog so that’s much better that previous moths of the year.
What I wasn’t expecting is getting remarks from school regarding my kid’s behavioral issue. She wasn’t settled in first two weeks, she wasn’t ready to do what teachers said and that spiraled into throwing tantrums in class. 😪We don’t know what triggered this reaction, it might be because of long break from school or teachers not knowing how to handle her… it made us worry a little but thankfully now she is settled and we hope this doesn’t persist.
The more days passes the more unhappy I feel with the job. Work is good and I like it but what bugs me is the way my boss communicates. It’s been just 6 months and the guy expect me to be perfect and it feels like he thinks I’m free all day all the time, as if I don’t have family and anything that is called “Me time”.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Well of Ascension is fantastic sequel filled with many twists and turns and political intrigue making this series to be one of my most favorite series in 2024 so far. I highly recommend this.
In The Weeds is delightful, heartwarming, and sweet second-chance romance in my favorite Inglewild small town with picturesque Lovelight Farm setting. Most readers loved first book more but I love this more than first book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Curvy Summer Romance is enjoyable and fun slow burn romance with amazing plus size representation.
The Black Orphan is gripping, action-packed, and fast-paced action thriller. There was no character depth and I could identify the culprit because of unbelievable romance, but it was still really good.
Puppy Trouble is cute children’s picture book that all kids will love to read. My only issue was with the ending. Review will be up next week.
Under The Bakul Tree is a poignant and touching coming-of-age YA translated fiction set against the backdrop of rural Assam. I enjoyed the themes and layers in this, but the discussion about the political and education system turned preachy at some point.
⭐⭐⭐
The Physics of Relationships is a slow-paced, heartwarming contemporary about loss and loneliness, and the complexity of relationships. I can see the appeal of this among 60s age group readers, but this didn’t work for me.

Hi, I'm Yesha, an Indian book blogger. Avid and eclectic reader who loves to read with a cup of tea. Not born reader but I don't think I’m going to stop reading books in this life. “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

It sounds like a very busy month, Yesha. I’m glad to hear that your daughter has settled in. It was probably just getting used to structure after having so much time off. Too bad about you boss, some are like that. I hope July is a great one for you.

Thank you, Carla! Don’t have much hope with job but I think I’m going stick to it as we need income right now and it’s convenient to work from home as it gives more time with kid.

Sometimes we just have to take the bad with the good.

Yes, hopefully after some years I can switch better job or once my husband gets promotion and we pay off all loans (it’s like mortgage) for house and car, I will relax and call it early retirement.

In The Weeds seems like a fun book! And Curvy Girl Summer is one I’ve seen around and only heard good reviews of all 😀
I’m glad you had a good reading month!
