I did a lot of rereading/audiobooks in July. My favorite on audio was probably Omens (Dark in You #6) by Suzanne Wright. I loved both Khloe & Keenan. My favorite read of the month was one of the J.T. Geissinger books, I just don’t know which one. My least favorite was Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger. Although the writing is superb, I didn’t like the story at all.

    I had positive reads last month; no bad books. I read Mary Balogh’s, Remember Me. It was much better than the first book in this series. Next, I finally finished the last two books in Lauren Layne’s Oxford series, I Knew You Were Trouble and I Think I Love You. With nine books in the Stiletto/Oxford series, I didn’t read them back-to-back.

    Two favorites this month were Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld and Charm City Rocks: A Love Story by Matthew Norman.
    I have no least favorite to mention as I tend to abandon books that aren’t working for me.
