The Books of July!
Where on earth did the summer go? Jeesh.
Favorite reads of the month were actually a lot of newly published books. (Although there was plenty of re-reading.)
Cold Reign by Faith Hunter is the latest Jane Yellowrock book, and I do love that series. The Furthest Station by Ben Aaronovitch, which is the latest novella in the Rivers of London series. Which I also love. Which means I also loved Rivers of London Volume 3: Black Mould by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan, which is the comic series. And finally Where the Dead Lie by C.S. Harris, which is the latest in the Sebastian St Cyr series.

So I mostly read eBooks this month, although two of the comics were in paper format. And there were six re-reads, because I’m in one of those funks where I don’t know what I want to read.
Genre-wise, a bit more variety this month.
Fantasy : 10
Romance : 6
Comic : 3
Mystery : 2
YA : 2
The romance was all supernatural romance, and all Ilona Andrews. Which is perfectly fine.
Male didn’t pull ahead that much, but female authors didn’t particularly catch up, since half of what I read was Ilona Andrews, which is a jointly written series.
Male : 3
Female : 2
Anthology : 2
Joint : 6
And those are the books of July. My favorite books were the latest additions to series, so I don’t recommend starting there. But there are plenty of books out there, and you can always start those series I love!
