SciFi June – Books I read

Unlike during Fantasy May when I was also reading for Wyrd And Wonder, June was a more relaxed month for me. I read Gravity is Heartless and Blades of the Fallen. The Affinities was more of a near future SciFi. If you are interested, here is the link to Blades of the Fallen review. The Affinities is coming tomorrow!
