June 2026
Welcome to June’s Monthly Wrap Up!
June has not been a good month for my reading. I didn’t read as much as I have previous months. Time just seems to be going by too fast again. I was consitent with my Audiobook reads at least. I did hope to get through more books this month because there are so many I have in my TBR that I want to read as soon as possible. I also with the most recent prime days purchased the Kindle Scribe which in the few days I’ve used it on my commutes i’ve noticed a significant difference for my eyes. I had been previously using an Amazon Fire Tablet, which had been causing my eyes some major discomfort when I was reading, so hopefully with this new change I’ll be able to read more during my commutes.
So let’s get into answering the following questions:
How did my month of reading go? Did I meet the goals I set for myself? Was I able to get through the entirety of my TBR from last month? What is on my TBR now? What am I currently reading? As well as my statistics for what reviews I posted, what I’m currently reading, what i’m planning to read next month, and where I am in my yearly reading goal.

June Reading Wrap-Up
In June I finished reading a total of 12 books, with reading a total of 2547 pages, and listening for 24.8 hours. Average book length was 258 pages. My primary genre read this month was Fantasy. Most of the books I finished this month were manga. I also DNF’d a book this month, I don’t do this often but I just wasn’t feeling it.

The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst (Hardcover)
One Piece Volume 15 by Eiichiro Oda (E-Book)

Yearly Tracking
So far this year I have read 50 books out of 200 which puts me at about 48 books behind to meet that goal. I feel like I anticipated reading a lot more, including manga this year since I had read so much of it last year. My reading progress hasn’t been going as well as I had hoped based on how much I read last year. As mentioned earlier in this post upgrading to a proper E-reader for my commutes I’m hoping will help
Other Media
Anime
1) One Piece (Episodes 1050-1151)
My rewatch/catchup on One Piece is getting closer to it’s end. I’m almost there! There are fewer than 60 episodes left for me to catch up on and then it’ll be as they are released and I can finally watch something else! The episodes I watched this month covered the second half of The Land of Wano arc as well as most of the Egghead Arc. Not going to lie several of these episodes had me in tears. We’re learning so much about the higher workings of the world and background of specfic characters it’s just so good! While daunting with the number of episodes, this 100% is worth watching.
Music
This month Evanescene’s album Sanctuary has been on repeat, along with the song Dracula by Tame Impala the Jennie Remix though. Taylor Swift’s new song I Knew It, I Knew You from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.
