Hello hello and welcome or welcome back to my little bookish corner of the internet. Today it’s time for my monthly wrap up, looking back over my July reads. You can find my June Wrap Up here, if you’d like to compare to a previous month, because frankly I’ve absolutely killed it this month.
Considering that over the course of this month I’ve had multiple flares of my constant migraine, and numerous cluster headaches (a new diagnosis, not a new condition; fun), I’m really thrilled that I’ve managed to continue to read so successfully. On top of that I also hit my 100 day streak for blog posts, and that is something I’m really proud of, given everything I’ve got going on.
July was quite a difficult month for me personally, and maybe I escaped into fictional worlds just that little bit more, but whatever and however, I’m so glad it worked out the way it did. Not everything I read was a 5 star read but nothing was below 3 stars, and I’ll take that as a win!

So there we go, a whole sixteen books read this month! I’ve read some really beautiful books, and some that I might have rated lower but really enjoyed just the same. I’m really hoping that August can be just as productive, because I’m so close to reaching that 100 books target, and I’d love to cross it with a few months to spare left of the year to reach a higher number. Keep an eye out for reviews of the ones I haven’t shared yet, as there’s still several to go, having packed so many in, and I’ve got a few blog tours coming up soon too. August is shaping up to be a good month, so let’s just hope it’s as good as July!
