Welcome to my July 2025 Wrap-Up!
This month, I listened to 9 audiobooks. Some of these have already been reviewed, while others have reviews scheduled to post a little later. A few titles were actually read in previous months, but I held off on sharing my thoughts until closer to their official publication dates. The rest of the stats below reflect the book reviews I published on That Happy Reader throughout July. I don’t know if it just my mood this month but there were no standout reads for me that were published in July.

No five-star reads in July! Too bad. You have enough 4-star that it wasn’t a *wasted* month, but I can find reading so many not-quite-perfect books to be disheartening. More so, for me, than reading a bunch of truly terrible books, just because they were in that almost-perfect zone.

Thank you ER.

Four star reads are still good ones for me. Too bad there was nothing outstanding this month, Jodie. I hope August brings you some outstanding experiences.

I need to get to your review of Seven Year Slip as that was one I really enjoyed. And Finders Keepers is still on my TBR. Here’s to hopefully another good reading month in August, I see you had no 5 stars in July!

Yay for a great reading month! I am bummed for you that you did not have any 5-star reads, but 4-stars is still great. I had my highest EVER 5-star reads for the month of July! Nothing has started out that great this month, LOL!

I had that a similar month a few months ago Cindy!
