books I read this month

Everything I Read in July 2024

Not bad for a month when I had a lot of migraines and had to start managing my dad’s estate

And Justice There Is None by Deborah Crombie (solid, these are good as audiobooks)

Now May You Weep by Deborah Crombie (eh)

Trust Her by Flynn Berry (I didn’t quite realize this was the second book about these sisters at first. It was fine but I didn’t enjoy it as much as her other books)

In a Dark House by Deborah Crombie (solid)

All Men Want to Know by Nina Bouraoui with Aneesa Abbas Higgins (Translator) (good)

Water Like A Stone by Deborah Crombie (solid)

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore (long but good)

Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil by Ananda Lima (entertaining)

Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie (solid)

State of Paradise by Laura van den Berg (solid)

The Nature of Disappearing by Kimi Cunningham Grant (ok)

Necessary as Blood by Deborah Crombie (ok but dated feeling. Also having some timeline issues because tech improves but they are still the same ages they were in the nineties. Finally seeing Kincaid and Gemma together and acting like a couple)

No Mark Upon Her by Deborah Crombie (solid)

The Sound of Broken Glass by Deborah Crombie (solid)

Sharks Don’t Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist by Jasmin Graham (interesting but at times seemed aimed at children?)

The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us by Rachelle Bergstein (disappointing, it was just a rehash of her plot lines and old interviews. It was clear the author never met her and did some guessing. Title had nothing to do with contents)

Two Sides to Every Murder by Danielle Valentine (uneven)

I’ve Tried Being Nice: Essays by Ann Leary (ok)

Teddy by Emily Dunlay (surprise hit!)

To Dwell in Darkness by Deborah Crombie (eh)

Day One by Abigail Dean (I liked this a lot! I saw a lot of bad reviews for it afterward and I feel like I read a different book than they did)

Garden of Lamentations by Deborah Crombie (solid)

Funny Story by Emily Henry (cute but I couldn’t figure out why the main character was broke but worked full time as a municipal employee with no debts)

A Bitter Feast by Deborah Crombie (Caesar salad with blue cheese?? What?)

My Darling Boy by Helen Cooper (eh)

Black TV: Five Decades of Groundbreaking Television from Soul Train to Black-Ish and Beyond by Bethonie Butler (interesting and well organized
