56 Days Archives - The Quick and the Read

July Wrap-Up and August TBR

It has been a HUGE reading month for me – probably the best ever! I read 17 books in July – including three that I awarded FIVE STARS!

I’d like to thank the heatwave for making it impossible for me to do much else other than read. I am eternally grateful that this coincided (happily) with time off work!

I’m now at 81/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.

Book Review: ’56 Days’ by Catherine Ryan Howard

Too soon for a novel about the pandemic?

In a word, no! This is a lively and cleverly structured novel that takes us through a lockdown mystery. I raced through it in two sittings because I really needed to know what happened.

WWW Wednesday: 21st July, 2021

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Taking on a World of Words. Anyone can take part and it is a great way of sharing what you have just finished reading, what you are currently reading and what is next on the TBR.

The school term is now finished and I am free to read! It is very sunny and my pale gingery self can’t cope so I’m looking forward to hiding from the sun with a cold drink, a huge pile of books and the ever-present (but not long-lasting) family pack of Fruit Gums!

I’m now at 73/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.

Since I last did a WWW Wednesday post, the school term has finished and this teacher is now reading whatever and whenever! I’m now at 70/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.
