July Reading Wrap Up | 2024

Ooh it’s been a while since I last did a wrap up so forgive this rusty, mildly nervous, July reading wrap up! Hope you enjoy it as August’s will be here before you know it. Ha! Let me know what you like in a wrap up and also any thoughts on any of the books I talk about. #ReadingWrapUp #BookTube #WrapUp

Apologies you’ll need a pen and paper or note taker of some kind. Whoops.

I love the video category of “Wrap ups” the most.. Thank you for doing them! Your mum too is brilliant at her wrap ups!

[susprime]

Yes, to Autumn Suggestions video. Thanks for the reviews, so yes, I appreciate the wrap ups.😊

I'm here for the waffle, tangents and high speed rambles. Never change. (Also, surprisingly loved hearing you slag off a book 😂 Savidge gets savage?!)

Love wrap ups. It's how I decide what to read.

[bookreview]

Wrap ups for me a perfect way to get (and give) an overview of the books read in a month. It' usually what I look at when discovering new channels, to see what they read and also how they talk about the books in a shorter form than a dedicated longer review.

I think you’re really good at wrap ups, so please continue doing them as often as you like. Also I’m here for the tangents & rambles whilst you figure out what you enjoyed (or didn’t) about a book it gives me a great sense of who you are as a reader.

Yes please to the autumn suggestions video and i love the wrap ups, as they are so natural and feels like its just a few friends sitting down to chat about books so keep doing what your doing!! 😊 always a delight. Yay for autumn 🍂 soon we can get out the cosy jumpers, a hot chocolate and curl up with a good book or two.

Yes!!!! Wrap ups are my ultimate faves! X

Loved your wrap up—please, continue!! And yes, to autumn suggestions!!

I know what you mean about Irish audiobook readers. I listened to 'Glorious Exploits' and I suspect half the joy was Ferdia Lennon's reading. The accent plus the Greek names! So good! (also: thank you. You are lovely.)

[inkylabyrinth]

I appreciate your thoughts on Brat, as I've recently taken it off my TBR--feeling more affirmed about that decision now. And thank you for not spoiling Bear! Been waiting a while for my library hold to come in and I'm excited for it, especially since Marian Engel's Bear is one of my faves of the year so far!

Love the wrap-ups, long may they continue! ❤

[rowenaeddy]

I appreciate your wrap ups more than other videos. You’ve put me onto so many books that I’ve loved. Keep it up

[whatraereads]

Okay absolutely slaying with the T-shirt selection 💅

Also Bear sounds so good, I have disappearing earth on my shelf that I still haven’t read yet 🫢

[GregHarness]

I love the full chaos. Keep the wrap-ups coming. Please.

Didn’t notice any rusty parts, just enjoyed hearing your thoughts as always - and, I love when we get to see the way books can make us (all) feel sth we don’t always have the words for. Or have to dig for to find. I’ve always admired how you explain your experience with a book, and I still do. I think it’s only relatable how a book brings out a feeling more than a complete sentence, lol. Hope you’ll keep doing these wrap-ups 🫶
- Have my eye on Blackwater Lightship or Bad Blood being my first Colm Toibín, pretty confident I’ll enjoy his writing (like everyone else) 😁

[ClareReads]

Love seasonal reading, especially going into the cosy months!

LOVED You Are Here - when a novel is well written and mixes emotion and humour so brilliantly it’s absolutely my kind of book!

[BookwormAdventureGirl]

I keep seeing Bear. Now I might have to pick it up. 😊💙
