First Book of July

2025/7/2 Edited to

... Read moreJuly is often a hectic month, filled with summer activities and vacations, which can make finding time to read challenging. However, it’s essential to embrace a reading pace that works for you. Whether you finished one book or several, enjoying the journey and the stories is what truly matters. For those looking to expand their reading habits, consider joining online platforms like Instagram or TikTok, where you can share your thoughts and find recommendations through popular hashtags such as #Bookstagram and #BookTok. These communities are vibrant and offer a wealth of ideas from fellow readers who share similar interests. Moreover, participating in themed reading challenges can help maintain motivation throughout the month. For instance, setting goals to read a specific genre, such as romance or thriller, can guide your choices and make the reading experience even more engaging. On platforms like Lemon8, users can discover book recommendations and connect with others who love reading just as much. If you’re interested in the book I read in July, look up the title or author on social media platforms or in local book clubs. Engaging with other readers who have read similar books can provide deeper insights and discussions about the narrative styles and themes explored. Remember, reading is not just about quantity but quality, enjoyment, and connection with stories that resonate with you. Happy reading!

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.   📚
