Books I Finished in June

It's once again been a while since I posted anything on here.  I kept meaning to, but I keep forgetting.  And surprisingly, June was a slow month for me as far as books.  Not as slow as July has been, but I've been super busy in July as of yet.  So, these were the books I read last month..

The Iron King
The Iron Daughter
The Iron Queen
The Sleeping Beauty
The Snow Queen
The Looking Glass Wars

They were all very good.  The Sleeping Beauty and The Snow Queen are both part of a series called The Five Hundred Kingdoms, which I love.  And they're books that can be read out of order because there are a couple of recurring characters at most.  There are currently five books in the series, and I've read three of them (#1, 4, and 5).  The Fairy Godmother, the first book, was a little more graphic than the others and did have some sexual content, but Mercedes Lackey is actually a very good writer and the other two don't have anything bad in them whatsoever, which I liked a lot.  I've got the other two - One Good Knight and Fortune's Fool - waiting to be read at this point.  However, being as busy as I was for the last week or so, it was hard to actually read a more than a bit of One Good Knight while I was traveling...

Anyway, all of those are great books - I loved the Iron Fey series and I'm looking forward to the next book The Iron Knight coming out this fall.  I'll write more on those later, but that's it for now.
