June Reading Wrap Up

 


Hi! It's been a long time since I've done a monthly wrap-up. The last year and a half, if my memory serves me correctly, since April 2024, has been filled with everything required to be a guardian of your incapacitated parents. I won't bore you with all the horrible details; suffice it to say that when you become a guardian and conservator, you have just been hired for a job you didn't apply for, you don't receive a salary or benefits, and it's exhausting.

June ushered in some great reading for me, actually, it started with May. I read Jen Turano's new release, A Lesson in Propriety, and Shannon Sue Dunlap's Hearts Aweigh. In June, I started reading You and Me For Real by Hayley Elliott, and while Jill Eileen Smith's book Dawn of Grace was published in February, switching genres has really helped me get back into reading. I'm not a huge fan of non-fiction books, but I've read The Primal Wound, which is about adoption, and The Birth Order Book. So, if you find yourself struggling to read, which I don't think of my readers, switch up your genres and see if that helps. I read more than one book at a time, and that keeps my brain continually interested.

How was your reading in June? Better? Worse? About the same?

My June was horrible. I just haven’t been able to get into reading lately. And I used to constantly be reading. I’ve tried shaking it up between fiction/non fiction, new authors, etc but nothing seems to help. So I’m just waiting for this spell to be over.

Welcome to the world of guardianship and conservator. I’ve been plenary guardian for my son for over thirty years. He’s high functioning intellectually disabled. Oh the stories I could tell. Thankfully I’m not an author. 🤣 I wish you the best of luck. It’s a tough and thankless job.

I’m sorry your June reading wasn’t good. I agree guardianship is a very thankless job, as well as exhausting. Oh, the book we could write. 😊
