That Was The Month That Was… July 2020!

July seems to have flown by, I can’t believe it’s already August! July was mainly spent watching a lot of football and reading loads of great books. We also finally watched the last season of Orange is the New Black.

The Government says shielding is now over but given that I haven’t left the house in five months I’m not planning on rushing things. I hope to be able to at least go for a short drive with my husband before too much longer.

I had another amazing reading month and finished a lot of books. It helps that my new headphones mean I can listen to audio books again. My 20 Books of Summer has stalled though as I’m struggling to hold physical books for any length of time. I think I only read one of my planned TBR in July and started another. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete my challenge to read 20 physical books.

I read 29 books (mainly ebooks and audiobooks) in July and that came to a total of 10,588 pages. I’m really pleased with how much I read, and how many amazing books I got to in July. I hope August is as good!

  1. You really did have a fantastic reading month, Hayley! What a nice variety of book, and it’s wonderful to know that you were well enough to read a lot, and had those great new headphones for listening. Odd timing – I ordered new headphones, too, and expect them today! Funny how that happens…

    • It was such an excellent month of reading. August is much slower so far as I’ve started Ducks, Newburyport and it’s over a thousand pages long. It’s really good though. I hope you enjoy your new headphones – I’m loving mine and being able to listen to audiobooks even when my husband is home.

  2. Wow, 29 is pretty amazing. My favourite July read was ‘ Brave Girl, Quiet’ Girl by Cajtherine Ryan Hyde. Enjoy your August. Take care ❤

    • It was such a good reading month. August is going to be slower as I’m reading such a huge book at the moment. I loved The Confession. I didn’t manage to review it but I very much enjoyed it. It was my first Jessie Burton book but now I want to read everything she’s written. I hope you enjoy it when you get to it.
