📚 July Ranked Reading Recap

Booker books, thought-provoking sci fi, and family genres about inheritances gone wrong

Hey, readers!

I am so excited to tell you about my July reads! Each month for Patreon and paid newsletter subscribers I share an audio file where I describe and rank every book I read in the month prior. And this one is going to be GOOD.

Today's list was a challenge because I loved so many of the books I read in July. I don't use star ratings (it’s complicated and I can go into that more in a future newsletter), but if I did, I'd probably say at least half of these were five star reads! Today's roundup includes four Booker longlisted books, three works of nonfiction, two family sagas, and a couple books that defy categorization.

Below you’ll find the audio file along with one sentence reviews, readalikes, and a time stamp so you can skip straight to the books that interest you!

Let me know in the comments if you read any of the same books as me last month and which ones you plan to pick up after today's episode!

Alright, let’s get to the books!
