Wrap Up: July 2022

Another month has come and gone, which means it’s time for another wrap up post! July was a pretty busy month for all of us but we’re excited to share what we read in July!

A quick reminder that Mary is on an indefinite hiatus, and you can catch up with her on @bookswithmary!

This month Caitlyn read 27 books, and Cossette read 25 books.

July has been a really weird reading month. I started off the month with a very annoying cold and didn’t want to read anything. Then, the majority of the books I read just were not my vibe and I felt myself slumping. The month turned around though as I started doing some rereads and found some new books that were much more enjoyable than the others I had read and ended up reading 27 books. Some standouts this month were Death by Bubble Tea by Jennifer J. Chow and Echo After Echo by A.R. Capetta. I also loved my rereads of Morgan Matson’s Since You’ve Been Gone, M.L. Rio’s If We Were Villains, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Emily Henry’s Book Lovers. I’m taking 2 weeks off of work in August, so I’m hoping to do a lot of reading then and of course, at the top of the list is our August TeaTimeReads pick, Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

I had a lot of personal things this month that got in the way of reading, but I still managed to read 25 books. This month, I finally gave Wibbroka a second try after not loving What’s Not to Love, and With or Without You, and absolutely adored their older works — Time of Our Lives, Always Never Yours and If I’m Being Honest. I also got approved for an ARC of their newest YA —  Never Vacation with Your Ex, as well as their newest adult — Do I Know You? and thoroughly enjoyed it. I finally finished Sally Rooney’s Normal People, and it’s quickly made its way into being one of my favorite books ever. I’m hoping to wrap up on some of my current annotation projects next month, and also catch up on some ARCs next month! As always, I’m super excited for our book club pick, Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li.
