The Dog Stars by Peter Heller – Another review copy from Headline. Another book I knew nothing about, but I’m intrigued by the synopsis. Goodbye for Now by Laurie Frankel – Review copy from Headline. I bought this for myself so I would have it ready for when I finished reading The Spring of the Ram. Race of Scorpions by Dorothy Dunnett – Third in the House of Niccolo series. I haven’t heard anything about this book or author but it sounds like another interesting historical fiction novel. In a Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener – Review copy from Simon & Schuster. This one sounds a bit different to the usual Tudor novels, focusing on the death of Henry VIII’s brother, Prince Arthur, and the mystery of the Princes in the Tower.

The Queen’s Confidante by Karen Harper – I requested this through Amazon Vine as I had enjoyed Karen Harper’s last two books.

Here are some I’ve bought or received in the last couple of weeks (titles link to the Goodreads synopsis for each book): I’ll be posting my thoughts on them soon, I promise!Īs I can never seem to find time to highlight my newly acquired books, I thought it might be a good idea to incorporate them into my monthly summary posts. July has been a good reading month for me – I’ve read eight books and enjoyed most of them – but not a good blogging month! I’ve only had time to write about three of the books I read, so I’ll have to catch up with the others in August.Īnd here are the other books I’ve read this month.
