Once again, 746books.com organized a special challenge:
20 Books of Summer
June 1-August 31
Summer is already over so it’s time to see how it went for this challenge.
I’m happy with the amount of books I read:
I reached 20 books on July 28, and ended up reading 28 books.
These were not necessarily the 20 I had lined up, I had to adjust to urgent books coming my way for review.
Unfortunately, I only reviewed 6 of these.
And I was planning to connect with participants of this challenge, which I didn’t do much at all, by lack of time.
Out of these 28, 15 books were in print, and 13 in audio (6 of these were Bible books)
12 were mysteries/thrillers
Books I especially liked?:
scratch that, there are too many!!
I will just highlight four books that were different, types of revelations:
Or What You Will:
An amazing author, totally new to me.
Great structure, so many references
VERDICT: Unique fantasy love letter to the Renaissance. Luscious!

If You Cross The River:
I got this in 2019, why did I wait so long to read it?
Incredible writing. I devoured it in no time
Migrations:
wow, certainly one of my favorites of the year so far.
VERDICT: Both beautiful and heart-wrenching. And of course, a must for all birders.

Killer, Come Back to Me
BIG revelation, I didn’t even know he had written crime fiction. Did you?
And he is so so good at it!
So here is the file with my 28 books.
Did you participate?
What was your favorite book this Summer?
