Summary:
June hasn't been as good a reading month as May was, but I've had some things going on in real life, so I'm not too bothered. The #BlackLivesMatter movement that has been taking a main stage across the world is inspiring, and I just hope that finally something will be done about police brutality.How have you done this month? Let me know below.
