Blimey - another great month's reading and I have to give credit to our new "reading chairs" for this. I just love snuggling up in them with a book and I wish we'd bought them ages ago!
When I was looking through the books I've read this month I was surprised to realise that seven of them were from the library - no wonder my TBR pile never seems to get any smaller! In total I read 14 books this so that means a donation of £14 to Book Aid International. My total so far this year is now £79 which I am really pleased with although other donations are, of course, very welcome ;)
July's reading list:
King of Foxes & Exile's Return - Raymond E. Feist
The Hazards of Hunting a Duke - Julia London
Splendid & How to Marry a Marquis - Julia Quinn
Arabella - Georgette Heyer
The Streets of Babylon - Carina Burman
Burma Chronicles - Guy Delisle
Dreams From My Father - Barack Obama
The American Future - Simon Schama
Sprig Muslin - Georgette Heyer
Lord of Scoundrels & Not Quite a Lady - Loretta Chase
World's End - Mark Chadbourne (first in a trilogy so I will review next month)

July Reading List
So - here's July's reading list in full. I didn't write about all the books I read as I just didn't have anything to say about a couple including the very odd Southland Tales that are a sort of prequel to the film that I've not seen.
My Pick of the Month is Catherine O'Flynn's wonderful book What Was Lost and it was good to see that I'm not the only person who thought it was great this month! It looks like there's a new cover in the works which is good as the one I've used for this post is a bit off-putting. Sadly, I did not get to see Catherine speak at the Latitude Festival a couple of weeks ago as she was on another day but I really look forward to her next book.
