The Read-at-Home Mom Report, June 2019

June was really heavy on the picture books and a bit lighter on other books, but I'm pleased with the mix of titles I read. In July, I'm hoping to go a bit easier on the audiobooks and get some more e-books and paperbacks read. I also didn't finish my June book club book (The World's First Love by Fulton Sheen), nor did I attend the book club, so at some point I want to finish that, especially now that Bishop Sheen's cause for sainthood has been reopened. But here are the books I did manage to read in June.
