Reading Roundup Wrapup: June 2019

Pick of the month: On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden. In theory I read a lot of good books this month, because I read a lot of Hugo finalists... but mostly I worked my way through the YA and graphic story lists this month, both of which I am finding underwhelming this year. But two I did really like, and both were contenders for my personal "honor": the graphic novel On a Sunbeam and the novelette The Only Harmless Great Thing. I gave the edge to On a Sunbeam because I liked its ending slightly better than Great Thing's, but that seems kinda arbitrary.
