<\/p>\n

It turns out that when it\u2019s hot, the last thing I want to do is read. Or do anything for that matter except sit in front of the fan. I am not a summer person! But I was working a lot in July so I could read books on my Kindle and listen to audiobooks on my commute. The group challenge on Goodreads continues but it meant I got to a couple of books that had been on my TBR for absolutely ages.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I had a great reading month for books I enjoyed \u2013 I got to several books that I\u2019ve been meaning to read for a while (The Tainted Cup, Lucky Day, The Missing of Clairdelune<\/em>) but a book I have a feeling I\u2019m going to reread in the future is\u00a0The Winter\u2019s Orbit<\/em>. I was so worried about reading it, sure it wouldn\u2019t live up to the hype, but I had a great time and I would love to reread it with the knowledge of how it ended. So glad I got it in a book box!<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Despite having a great reading month, this wasn\u2019t a hard category to pick. I was really annoyed at how the female characters were written in\u00a0Death on Gokumon Island<\/em>, I found\u00a0The Care and Feeding of Meddling Himbos\u00a0<\/em>a little dull at times, but the one book that had a great premise and yet was executed poorly (and had a very disturbing ending which was supposed to be goood?) was\u00a0The Cautious Graveller\u2019s Guide to the Wastelands<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    So I made more progress on my\u00a02026 Goals<\/a> than I thought, partly on accident. I read two books from my 2026 TBR, one ARC and one book from my Women\u2019s Prize for Non-Fiction Longlist. Apart from the ARC (which was incredibly late anyway), I really enjoyed all of these books! I am 53% of the way through the PopSugar challenge, and 24% of the way through the Read Harder challenge. And eight of the books this month I already owned (which doesn\u2019t make up for the 15 books I bought, even if about half of them were free Kindle books). It\u2019s going well!<\/p>\n

    How did your July go?<\/p>\n
