July turned out to be a fab bookish month. I read 5 books and listened to 7 audiobooks, making a grand total of 12 which I’m very happy about. 😀
Favourites
I enjoyed all of the books I read and listened to this month, but these were my stand out favourites. ICYMI you can read my reviews for The Trap, The Paris Widow and The Last Murder at the End of the World 😀 I’m hoping to review Clive Myrie’s brilliant memoir soon, but can’t seem to find the words at the moment, except to say, listen to it if you can as he’s brilliant telling his own story!
Bookish Travel
My armchair travel was amazing in July, as I managed to travel to 26 countries! This was because The Paris Widow, Clive Myrie’s Memoir and Emily Maitlis’ book took me to loads of different countries. 😀 🌍

There are other book bloggers that do it each month. In fact, I got the idea from them! 😀

Yay, you came to Belgium 😂 The Paris Widow was great for bookish travel but unfortunately I forgot to take note of all the countries 🤦🏼♀️ I had to go and check Yvo’s bookish travel post so I could fill in my spreadsheet correctly 😂
