July Book Report

Kingston (NH) Community Library
July 2026

I finished 15 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“Childhood friends don't necessarily know you best. I know this. But they do know a version of you best, and that can be such a relief in the harsh reality of adult life; sometimes we need someone who we don't need to explain ourselves to.” ― Annie B. Jones, Ordinary Time
