    I knew you'd love Black Cake! One of my favorite reads of the year for sure. A standout for me for July was Setting Free the Kites by Alex George. It's a coming-of-age literary fiction about friendship and grief, and BOY OH BOY DID I CRY. It was wonderful. I also read Sleepwalking by Meg Wolitzer and loved it as well!

    i just want to say that the way you describe these books and the wording you use could make me want to read any book. it also helps that you read a lot of different genres. i often feel that i'm not real reader (whatever that means) because i don't read a lot of classics and different genres and i read a lot of romances so watching your videos makes me interested in getting out of my comfort zone and reading all different types of genres. so thank you!

    Yes! Have just ordered "Before the coffee gets cold", excited to get started, especially after seeing your reaction on that one. Thank you! Favourite work I read this month was definitely 'Venus and Adonis' by Shakespeare, and in terms of the favourite character, it most certainly was Kit from "The old curiosity shop" by Dickens.

    Hi Noelle! My favorite book of the month was Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. It was such a weird little novel with so much packed into its 240 pages. I would categorize it as a sci-fi/horror. So so good.

    Your Monthly rep-ups are everything to me!! My favorite book of the month was, with no doubt, Act Your Age Eve Brown and my favorite character was Jacob Wayne, the love interest of this book. I know you also love the Brown sisters and now that’s over I have this bittersweet taste in my mouth… I’m so glad that I read them but I’ll also miss this family and miss a good book with a diverse cast…. Anyway, happy August, don’t forget to listen to August by Miss Taylor 💕

    I read my first Colleen Hoover book, It Ends With Us and I think it was my favorite of the month, closely followed by Dear Ava by Ilsa Madden mills. Neither one was 5 stars (I gave them both a solid 4 stars) but it wasn't a great reading month for me at all so I'll take it!
    And I don't really have a favorite character this month. No one really stuck out to me or stuck with me :)

    My favourite book this month was If We Were Villains (yes - I finally got around to reading it!!!), and it stuck with me emotionally for days. My favourite character was Alix Chamberlain from Such a Fun Age, so fun, so outrageous and so problematic! Loved her
