July Book Report

July 2021

I finished 11 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“My dad had once told me that the secret to a happy life was never to start something with a girl unless you were willing to follow wherever it leads.”
― Ben Aaronovitch, Midnight Riot

Here is my progress toward various goals and challenges:

• 4 were non-fiction and none were poetry (toward my goal of 10 non-fiction books and some poetry this year) 
• 1 was a book I own but hadn't read before (#unreadshelfproject2021) 
• 1 counts toward the Turtle Recall Challenge
• 0 counted toward the Canadian Book Challenge 
• 0 were from my Classics Club List and 0 counted toward the Back to the Classics Challenge this month
• 6 were from my #20BooksofSummer2021 list

Here are the books I finished in July 2021: 

1. Nudge by Richard H. Thayler (audiobook, 2-stars) -- interesting, but way too repetitive
2. Aunt Dimity's Death by Nancy Atherton (4-stars)
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis  (4-stars)
4. Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars by Francesca Ward (5-stars)
5. Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovich (audiobook, 4-stars)
6. A Few Quick Ones: Stories by P. G. Wodehouse (3-stars)
7. Castle Shade by Laurie R. King (3-stars)
8. The White Mountain by Dan Szczesny (4-stars)
9. Lineage Most Lethal by S. C. Perkins (3-stars)
10. Susan, Linda, Nina, & Cokie: The Extraordinary Story of the Founding Mothers of NPR by Lisa Napoli (4-stars)
11. Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett (4-stars)

I read some very good books this month. I still need to get some of my classics club books onto the top of the pile.
