Summary:
July has been a really good month for reading, and now that school has ended (officially) I have to summer to enjoy as many books as possible before the school year starts again in September, and I have a full timetable as a RQT. Here’s hoping life returns to some sort of normality soon enough!How have you done this month? Let me know below.
