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.
