The Week in Books: June 14 – June 21

Another weird week in Verity-world, with a newly chipped tooth and more problems concentrating the main causes. But it could be so much worse. And as with all the other weeks in this month so far, I’m concentrating on black and other non-white authors for my reading – except when library books are coming up to the end of their loans and aren’t renewable.

Bonus photo: Some nice calming leaves and sky. Because nature and calming is good right now.

An * next to a book title indicates that it came from NetGalley.
