In July 2022, I read 4 titles, sticking to my two IWSG Book Club reads and two exploratory reads. I’m behind in my Goodreads challenge but have plenty of time to catch up, Still, I’ve been playing catch up for a while, even this post is a mash-up to save time and makeup time.

Below you’ll find my star ratings and review blurbs for each title I completed in the indicated month. If you have not signed up for my newsletter, please consider doing so. That’s where I post an overview of what I’ve been reading, watching, and writing quarterly, as well as talk about my love of reading while offering tips for having a healthy reading lifestyle. You can also click the Goodreads links to see the thorough reviews. At the bottom of this post, you’ll also be able to watch a video of my monthly reviews, if that’s more your style.

I finished reading an ARC I received which pushed back some of my book club reading and I haven’t even picked up my #ReadWithFey selection yet. This hurt shoulder has been a real pain; I feel like I’m moving so slow because of it.

I’m 74% through this collection and have really enjoyed it. So far, I find it relaxing to read a little of this between stressful tasks.

I’m 30% through this and find it quite adorable at the moment. The pet fly is cute and the blend of magic and tech really appeals to me.
