Monthly Reading Recap - July 2025


Monthly Reading Total: 13 -
One of my lower reading months but I really enjoyed most of what I read.

Type:

Print: 4

Ebook:  4

Audio: 5

Genre:

Mystery - 8

Fiction - 2

Romance - 2

Nonfiction: 1

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?
