Really happy with what I was able to read in July! I unexpectedly had a really nice array of worlds I could switch between so I didn’t feel bored at all, which is something that’s happened to me a few times (it’s usually what causes a slump). What are you reading this month? #lemon8bookclub

This month felt like two different reading months. All of my lower rated reads were in the first half of the month and then I read a couple new favorites back to back.   📚 Highlights definitely include Sally Rooney’s new novel Intermezzo, which I posted a full review on a couple weeks ago.   📚
