June was loads of fun; I read 11 books and visited 6 cities! Despite that, June’s recap is shorter than usual because I’m saving the details for full travel recaps that I’ll be sharing throughout July. I wish every day of my life could be filled with books and Hungarian lemonade, but alas, I’m back in Philly now and gotta figure out what I want to do with my life to be a productive member of society.

This month’s month-in-review is a few days late because I’ve had a busy weekend and I’ve been busy in general! These last few days, I’ve been finalising plans for a family trip through a few cities in Switzerland, Vienna, and Budapest, and I’m off this Thursday! If anyone has recs or travel guides for Lausanne, Gimmelwald, Lucerne, Vienna, or Budapest, please leave ’em in the comments or shoot me an email!
I was going to say that I’ll be taking a break from my regular posting whilst I’m traveling June 6-24, but I haven’t really been posting regularly soooo… hehe. What you can look forward to is a roundup of iPhone snapshots as I leave each each country for the next (like I did for San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Cambridge, London, Paris), and in the weeks that follow, you can look forward to the full travel diaries!
☆*:・ﾟ It’s been a bright, hot week, which isn’t always the most comfortable to walk around in, but makes for amazing natural lighting indoors, and more importantly, for my bookstagram ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
