Favorite Books of the Month:
Favorite Audio - The Postcard by Anne Berest - This narrative nonfiction listen kept me absolutely captivated, eganged, and heartbroken the entire time.
Favorite Read - Hardcastle's Quartet by Graham Ison - This World War I era historical mystery with the grumpy Detective Hardcastle was a surprise win for me. I typically enjoy historical mysteries but this one was a bit of traditional police procedural delight. My only complaint is that it's going to be a difficult to track down the rest of the series.
Bookish Armchair Traveling:
Domestic Travel: I visited Washington, DC and Washington State for the first time this year. I also revisited Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Massachusetts.
International Travel: I had a busy month when it comes to international travel. In addition to my usual visit to England I also went to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Sweden, Japan, Ireland, and France
How was your July reading? Where did your books take you?

Interesting that The Postcard was really good on audio. I read it via Kindle and liked it but didn't love it.
ReplyDeleteI will check out The Postcard by Anne Berest
ReplyDeleteLooks like July was another good month of reading.
