My Five Favourite July 2021 Reads

My 5 Favourite July Reads

I powered through the books in July, reading 16 in total although to be fair a few of these were books I was part way through at the end of June. This was another month when I read so many great books it was tough to whittle down my list to only five. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of all the books I’ve read so far in 2021 here.  If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.

Business As Usual by Jane Oliver and Ann Stafford (Handheld Press) – first published in 1933, an epistolary novel with the story told by means of telegrams and memoranda

For Lord and Land (The Bernicia Chronicles 8) by Matthew Harffy (Head of Zeus) – another action-packed adventure for Beobrand, immersing the reader in a tumultuous period of history

Songbirds by Christy Lefteri (Manilla Press) – a beautifully written story inspired by the real-life disappearance of several women and children in Cyprus 

The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams (HarperCollins) – an engrossing, heartfelt story that celebrates the joy to be gained from reading

This Lovely City by Louise Hare (HQ) – part mystery, part love story set in 1950s London (full review to follow)
