My June 2024 in Books

4 min readJun 27, 2024

I am doing this a little early again this month since I’m not sure how much writing I will be doing next week. I might finish one more book by Monday. I will add it to next month.

I’ve finished four books this month.

1. Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina

It’s been way too long since I’ve read this and I didn’t write about it when I did. So, here is the official synopsis -

All Noemi Broussard wanted was a fresh start. With a new boyfriend who actually treats her right and a plan to move from the reservation she grew up on-just like her beloved Uncle Louie before her-things are finally looking up for Noemi. Until the news of her boyfriend’s apparent suicide brings her world crumbling down.

But the facts about Roddy’s death just don’t add up, and Noemi isn’t the only one who suspects that something menacing might be lurking within their tribal lands.

I honestly can’t remember how the book ends. I remember I liked it when I was reading it. I remember that I prefered the flashback sections more than the present day part, but everything else is fuzzy.

2. Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead
