Books Read In July 2020

 



All images are from Goodreads.com except the Playing Nicely cover picture is from Amazon.

In July, I read 9 books.

The Perfect Wife -JP Delaney
This was kind of a hard book for me to get into. There was a lot of scientific talk and for me because of that reason the novel didn't flow well. I did end up liking the book just not as much as I thought I would. I rated it 3 stars on Goodreads. 

Summerlost -Ally Condie
This was a cute story, not one of my favorite books ever, but it held my interest. This was such a quick read that I think I read it in one day. The story line was very creative. I rated it 3 stars.

Summer Days & Summer Nights -Multiple Authors
I re-read this book because it's a Summer themed book. While I don't like it as much as the holiday/winter themed book by multiple authors, I still enjoyed it a lot. I rated it 3 stars.

Rules For Being A Girl -Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno
I liked this book and found it enjoyable even though it wasn't a favorite. I rated it 3 stars.

Reputation -Sara Shepard
Another enjoyable book even though it wasn't a favorite. I rated it 3 stars.

Playing Nice -JP Delaney
I won this book from a Goodreads.com contest. The story line was very creative and I enjoyed this book. I rated it 3 stars.

The View From Here -Hannah McKinnon
I love this author so much and this was her newest release. I loved this book so much. I love the settings of her novels and the story lines and this book was just as great as her other novels. I rated this book 5 stars.

10 Things I Hate About Pinky -Sandhya Menon
I like this Young Adult author. This book was good but it wasn't my favorite novel by her. I rated it 3 stars.

Evvie Drake Starts Over -Linda Holmes
I loved this book so much. Along with The View From Here by Hannah McKinnon, it was my other favorite top novel of the month and one of my favorite books of the year. I loved the characters, the story line and the setting. I highly recommend this book. I also recommend Hannah McKinnon and all of her novels. I rated this book 5 stars.

    I loathed The Perfect Wife. I couldn't do it.

    I really need to read Summer Days and Summer Nights. I enjoyed the Winter/Holiday version, and I own the Summer one.

      It's not as good as the Winter/Holiday one but it's still really good.

    I loved Evvie Drake Starts Over. It's not one I would normally like, but I think I read it at the right time.
