What I Read In July 2025.

Another great summer month of reading is wrapped up! I loved the books I read this month and still can’t get enough of summer reads! What are you reading?!

I shared my giant summer reading list, which is my favorite thing ever.

I do have a book of the month membership – I love it so much. I read SO many books from this box. I get so many of my new releases and debut author books there. You can sign up for one here.

Most of these books are linked through bookshop (if available!) and I highly suggest shopping through there because it will support your local indie bookstore. You can choose the local bookstore to support! I support Penguin Books when I buy which is my fave here in Pittsburgh.

Okay, keep me posted on what you’re reading below!

WHAT I READ IN JULY 2025The Art of Vanishing – 4.5 stars

LOVED this one. I was so excited for it because I’ve followed Morgan on instagram for years. This story is so imaginative and incredible! Her writing is amazing. The story takes place in a museum, which I loved so much. The romance between our main characters was just so good – the talk of all the art – fabulous. The story really sucked me in right away and I couldn’t wait to see what happened.

Totally And Completely Fine – 4.5 stars

Another great one!! I was hesitant to read this one because it does deal with some grief and I was in the mood for a super happy book. This story is about a woman who lost her husband a few years ago and is trying to find her way. She also has a child. But the way the grief is handled is so beautiful and I loved the relationship between the main character and love interest. I also love the dual timelines in this one!

Broken Country – 5 stars

This book got me. Oh man. It was INCREDIBLE. It might be my book of the summer. It was not a happy story by any means, but I was left thinking about it for days after. This story is about a family who is torn apart, the timelines jump, there are basically two loves stories. There are a few twists in the book (the one at the end, I did see it coming but most of my family who read did not!) and the ending is a good while, albeit not exactly happy. It definitely keeps you reading – the timelines go back and forth so I do suggest reading over listening to this one.

Far And Away –  5 stars

I LOVE Amy Peopple’s books and this one did not disappoint at all. I love her writing style. This story is about a good classic house swap! Think The Holiday, but maybe funnier?! There’s a little mystery here and every character is just so good. She is fabulous at bringing a story like this together. I loved it so much. I cannot recommend it enough – you will be laughing hysterically.

Don’t Let Him In – 4 stars

I really needed a thriller and some mystery this month! I couldn’t put this one down. There are a few twisted storylines here and they will keep you guessing. The story switches is about a few women who have been conned by the same man and wow – he is a wacky one. There is so much going on here and it is nuts. Definitely kept me on my toes and wondering what would happen next.

The Island – 5 stars

This was a re-read for me! I read this the year it came out, in 2010! Along with the Blue Bistro, it is my favorite Elin novel. She also laughs when I tell her that because it’s a random one! I think it just hit me at a certain time and I was drawn to it. So I downloaded it when we were on the plane to Nantucket to read. This story follows a girl who cancels her wedding and heads off to Tuckernuck island with her mom, sister and aunt. I loved it just as much as I did the first time!
