Monthly Wrap Up | July 2025

July was an interesting month! I went to Las Vegas with my hubby and we saw Lady Gaga in concert. We also got our house painted which made me feel trapped at home for a few days – you would think it help me read more but it didn’t. We even had a tsunami warning scare – nothing significant happen but the anxiety of that day was not fun at all. So now at the end of this month, I just feel kind of exhausted! I’m kind of ready for summer to be over and fall to be here, if only for cooler weather. It’s been HOT.

I read 12 books and posted 22 book reviews in July.
