5 Books in June 2020

Listening to audiobooks is much more enjoyable to me than reading. I can listen while I clean or drive or walk. I had an audible subscription and I loved it but I felt like I was spending a bit too much money so I opted to go through my local library and download the Libby App for free audiobooks. It's amazing. The downside is that there is sometimes a long wait (I have one hold for 20 weeks!!) They also do not carry EVERY title.

I am no professional book reviewer but I enjoy seeing other peoples' lists to get some ideas of good reads. I read Something in the Water (#3 in one day) and picked the 5 I enjoyed the most this month. I am over halfway through #5 and really liking it so I included that.
