A Novel Curiosity | BOOKS I READ THIS MONTH // July 2020 Wrap Up @anovelcuriosity | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 16 minutes ago.
July was a great reading month for me! I ended up giving five books 5 stars! Watch for my thoughts on the books I read this month!
*I don’t know if I gave the best explanation regarding The Reading Rush, so I wanted to reiterate that the hosts this year were incredibly disrespectful and insensitive and because of that I will no longer be taking part.
