July was a whole MOOD and I can't say I'm going to miss it. Trying to balance having a kiddo on summer break while not being on break from school myself is NOT for the faint of heart. Hence, I give you my shortest wrap-up list of the year.

I also felt like 5 ⭐ ratings were just out of reach this month, but I honestly think it was me (the MOOD, ya know?). It's hard to fully enjoy a book when your reading time is so fragmented. I will say that MOST were 4-4.5 ⭐s, so if you're looking for recs, this is absolutely a great stack to draw from!

One thing that has been bringing me immense joy is my new book counter from @3legant_designs! I first saw their stuff at #BigOhioBookCon, but had so much analysis paralysis that it took me several months to order my own. (Once again - MOOD!) Eva was so kind and offered custom recs in my DMs and has been putting up with my shenanigans ever since. Do yourself a favor and grab your own!
