Two Girls Monthly Wrap up for July 2020

TEE'S WRAP UP
 
I read 15 books in July, which might not seem like a lot to many of you, but it is pretty darn good for me. I will always claim to be a card-carrying member of the Slow Readers Club. But I discover the Heartstopper series which are graphic novels and it made a difference in adding a few more books to my reading. Will I continue to read graphic novels? Probably not, but I have enjoyed this series and will continue with it.

As always I made a TBR list for the month but in July I veered WAY off of it, and read only a few things on my list, which is all good. I think I am going to kind of wing it in August...maybe.

I took place in our Bookmas Challenge and managed to get all but two squares on my grid filled, it was toward the end of the month that I veered off my needing to read. To be honest I was on the Romance Team and my Heartstopper books were romance LOL


Ro and I also read three books together this month and you can find our thoughts on them here on the blog.

I also was able to fill my Non-Fiction Challenge by reading Bright Star by John Keats, combining it with my Bookmas Challenge

Ro’s Wrap Up

Hey guys it’s Ro here and in July I got 13 books read. I have book in genres all over the place. I was hosting a Bookmas in July Challenge and I was the Fantasy team leader. Even with that I had books in multiple genres. I realize I want to get back to just reading what I feel in the mood for. I was able to finish my bingo board but at time it was difficult and it took me longer then it usually would have. Anyhow lets get the the break down of what was read.

Top Ten Tuesday  was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018.

I do make TBR Lists for every season, etc, but I rarely manage to read everything, or sometimes anything off of them...But here is my list which isn't really a Spring list, but what I'd like to get read before I start on my Beach Read craze! Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering...
