July! Already. Where do the months keep going but the sun is shining as I write this and we have a holiday coming up in the next month, Away as in going in a plane away too. It only seems a few days since I was posting the June TBR and here we are again. You know the drill, this is a frankly disturbingly long list and I am not going to read all of them, but it does give me the option to pick and choose.

So, er, that is it. Inevitably there will be library books that have to be read as others have reserved them. Either way, I win!
Any in that list that you like the look of?
Ooh, going on a plane and everything?! I’ve got a week off in July and hoping for a sort of reading week, as well as doing some of the Keys to the City activities we have in Birmingham this summer. Of course last time I had a week almost only reading was on Gran Canaria, but hopefully something overseas will happen in September for us … Bon voyage!
Indeed! I hope you manage to get away in September
