What I Read in July 2021 Part 1

It’s time for my first half of July book review! I’m posting it about a week later than normal, but I will only be covering the books I read in the first half of the month. As usual, I’m saving my 5 star books reviews for my Favorite Books post, which will come next week. The Amazon links to the books I’ve read are affiliate links and if you use them and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. If you’ve read any of these books or are interested in them, I’d love to hear about it in the comments! I also read The Magic of Found Objects, which I reviewed separately.

Here’s what we saw.
