This summer has been very good to so far. I have done a lot of traveling, spent time with family and friends and gotten in a ton of reading with a lot of 4 and 5 star reads. I feel really lucky that I was able read so many great stories.
To Recap July
- 26 Books Read
- 20 Fiction
- 2 Graphic Novels
- 4 Non-Fiction
This month it is hard to pick a favorite, but I am going to go with Evvie Drake Starts Over. This was just a fresh take on an second chance romance. This is not your typical fairy-tale romance, this seemed very adult, with all the mistakes and all the self-doubts that come with starting a romance at 40.
Here is how the rest of the month panned out.
