My two favorites this month was A Good Person and Lost Lambs. Characters were funny, unhinged, and caught me off guard.

My theme this month was anything book, story, library related in title

Favorites: How To Read A Book and Book Witch

Started this on 7/3/25 and finally finished it last night. My biggest hurdle was the light pink/purple and I abandoned it until a week ago. It’s a beautiful puzzle but there were lots of frustrating moments! This was my first 1500 and I think my last haha

Favorite this month is Homegoing. I really loved the story telling format, similar to North Woods, where it’s separate stories that follows a common thread throughout several centuries.

Devoured Yesteryear. Knocked it down .25 because the ending did seem rushed. I would’ve enjoyed if they expanded the twist to few more chapters

Picking a theme has helped me in picking out my next books. There have been some sitting on my tbr list that forced me to finally read and/or remove them

DNF: All Fours, Intermezzo, 107 Days

Paused: Rose Code since we picked that for next month’s book club read

Next month: Story/Book/Library in title. Starting with The Overstory

Started choosing books based on blue in the cover. This really helped narrowing down what’s next on my tbr list. I’ve got yellow for May, and stripe pattern for June
