Hi Still She Creates Community,

Welcome to my very first monthly book wrap-up! There’s nothing I love more than getting lost in a good book, and July was no exception. It was a month filled with fantasy, witty romance, and heartfelt stories that had me turning pages long after I should have gone to sleep.

I’m so excited to share my thoughts on the books that made it onto my nightstand (and my Kindle!) this month. So, pour yourself a cozy cup of coffee, and let’s dive in!
