June monthly wrap-up

This month was absolute success in terms of quantity, however the quality was mediocre.

Books I've read: 6
Pages in total: 2268

Books I've read in June
I've started June by finishing second book in a Mistborn series, by Brandon Sanderson called "The well of ascension". I won't talk much about it, because I'm planning on writing a review of all three books in this series. However I was disappointed and only gave it  2.5 stars out of 5. At that point I was debating whether continue with this series or not. However I forced myself read third one and be done with it. Boy oh boy......I was struggling with "The hero of ages" all month and, only listening the audio book version of it, helped me to finish it in time. In the end I gave it 2.5 stars out of 5.

Also this month I finished "Nugalėtojų principai" by Bado Shafer, that my boyfriend so kindly recommended to me. It is a non - fiction book about self esteem, ways of making your life easier and less stressful. I found this book quite helpful and interesting, however there was parts that was too similar with others self help books. But, hey... I guess you can't invent a bicycle all over again :) so I gave this book a 4 stars out of 5.  

And then came the best part of the month.....I've read this book in one sitting and that book was "The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson. It is a book based on a true story that happened to Lutz family in 1975. Supposedly their new house was haunted by evil spirit, that made them leave their new home only after 28 days...I don't even have words to describe how much I loved this gem. Maybe because it's supposedly a true story it gave me chills while reading it and few days after I finished it I was jumpy like a rabbit at every sound I heard, that how much this book affected me. So it is no surprise there, that I gave this book 5 stars out of 5. 

After that I started "Red riding hood" by Sarah Blakley - Cartwright and David Leslie Johnson. It's a book based on a movie by the same title. I have nothing much to say, only that one thing that made me cringe was that instalove between Valerie and Peter. And it was like watching movie all over again :) so I gave it 3 stars out of 5

Then I decided that I would like to read something funny and fluffy, something summery. That's why I decided to read Sophie Kinsellas "Can you keep a secret ?". And I was not disappointed, it met all of my expectations: it was funny and cute. Yes, there were parts that main character made me roll my eyes, but in conclusion I still gave this book 4 stars out of 5. 

 That's all for now...Happy reading :)
