All the books I read in July! | GKreads 

“Atmospheric July” “Not the one that’s dead on the roof…” 😂😂😂

I do that with reading sometimes too, feeling guilty about not reading one book I have started but for me, if I change books it's even harder for me to go back

I agree with everything you said about Cleopatra and Frankenstein, really enjoyed it.

Dead seagulls on the roof and children running free. Ah, British Summertime. Why Did You Stay sounds like a must read. I like the sound of New Animal and love Australian lit, so need to get to that one. Fab video as always.

My favourite July read was First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker I was a bit disappointed with Twyford Code after loving The Appeal

"I like trees, they seem cool."-- GK Reads, 2022 🌳😁

love your reviews 💞 glad you had a great reading month!

love your nails!! i just started new animal, need to finish before cj + jaylen's chat on saturday!!! 😂😂

I read a lot of books in July, but nothing that really knocked my socks off. The Overstory has been on my shelf for years, and I really need to get to it. Maybe I'll try listening to it.I did just finish Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley, so technically it's an August read - but it's brilliant, and I really think you'll love it too. One of my faves so far this year.

Felt so guity about being in the slump the whole month but then I realised I still read 5 books in July! I loved You Made a Fool out of Death.. the most tho 🖤🖤

For The Overstory, I followed along with the audiobook and that seemed to really help! Not a five star for me but it wasn’t bad!

The Appeal was just so good. I liked the Twyford Code too, but not as much as The Appeal. She is an auto read for me now. My favorite July read was We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker. I really liked The Overstory. It is too long though. Also, if you are writing a book about how we need to protect the trees why are we printing it? So much paper used. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sent you an IG message about your sticker.

Overstory was great on audio. It would be good to listen to while at gym. The best books I’ve read in July are Tresspasses by Louise Kennedy After The Parade by Lori Ostlund Lessons In Chemistry The Trees Take My Hand

I struggled so much with the ending of The Twyford Code… I’m still not sure I understand what went down 😂 The Appeal, however, I adored. Going to have to pick up Why Did You Stay? Didn’t even know it was a thing but I’m all for Strictly drama 👏🏻

hey grace! loved the video, ofc, and definitely have cleo and frank on my tbr - this is a bit cheeky but i was wondering if you finished your re-read of the trespasser for the dublin murders vlogs? i'd love to hear your thoughts on it as the last one in the series :D

Ha ha! Even though I adore The Overstory I won’t shout at you - would be boring if we all thought the same 😂😂😂 Think I will definitely get The Twyford Code, I enjoyed The Appeal.

Let Alex read New Animal and then just watch his reaction when he gets to the tampon scene XD I actually really like the UK cover - I must look up the other covers for it.

The best book I read in July was My Devotion by Julia Kerninon. It pulled me into the world the entire way and had a great ending. I think you might like it too!

I struggled the same way for the Overstory, too. I still haven’t finished it and I feel guilty.

My favorite book I read in July was As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner!

I'm intimidated to read The Overstory because of how everyone has talked it up. "I like trees, they seem cool."😂I was so excited to see New Animal in the thumbnail! I absolutely loved New Animal. I've struggled with my own grief and in the process of not dealing with it, like Amelia, I found myself in running into situations and people I normally would have run away from. The ending with the final body she's attending to in the novel made me weep. I read New Animal back in february and I've pulled it off my shelf at least once a week to refer back to certain scenes and lines. I don't think the BDSM bit was suppose to be a focus in a sexual way. I don't know how else to explain it. The final body she attends to at the end of the novel brings back some of the BDSM elements, "How would she like to be right now? A body will tell you..." That echoes some of what the women at the BDSM place were telling her, in how a Dominate should anticipate their Submissive's wants and needs. And you see it through every body she attends to throughout the novel. I also think it went to extremes with how she tried to outrun her grief because it wasn't just the grief of her mother's death she was dealing with but the undealt grief of all the death she has seen. As much as I adore New Animal, I definitely see where it will not be everyone's cup of tea.

My favorite book I read in july was Normal People 💗

Are you doing #WIT in August Grace?

Oh, I like your cover for New Animal much more than the American one. Ours is boring. I need to read the Twyford Code, I liked The Appeal, but I was worried that the new one would be too British for me to get the references.

Please tell me a book I’m guaranteed to love. In a bit of a reading slump. I’ve recently enjoyed Piranesi most
