I read eight books in July, the same as last month and close to my customary reading rate. Here are the three I enjoyed the most. Links from each title will take you to my review or the book description on Goodreads (mostly the latter as I’m behind with reviews).
Check out all the books I’ve read so far in 2025 here. If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.
My thanks to Swift Press for my copy of Green Ink and Mantle for The Art of a Lie via NetGalley.
There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak (Viking) – the brilliantly realised tale of three characters living alongside two rivers, centuries apart, who are linked by a single drop of water and an epic poem
Green Ink by Stephen May (Swift Press) – the story of Victor Grayson, the real life firebrand socialist MP turned secret-service informant who vanished without trace one night in late September 1920
The Art of a Lie by Laura Shepherd-Robinson (Mantle) – an enthralling historical mystery set in Georgian London
