As one of those people who believes summer ends with Labor Day, it's hard for me to believe we only have one more month of summer, but, I should not complain after seeing all the CA fire devastation -- so sad. We managed to make the best of the of often hot, humid and rainy weather we experienced in July. We just got back from a little getaway to Hanover, NH, Home of Dartmouth College (founded in 1769). Hanover, NH is also home to a favorite author, Jodi Picoult. We had fun touring Dartmouth -- what lovely grounds and the array of gorgeous buildings typically found at these Ivy League schools. We loved the quaint town with fun shops and food stops.
In July, I finished 9 books (4) audio (4) print and (1) ebook, for a total of 59 YTD. I need to play catch up with some mini reviews over the next week, but here are the completed books and ratings (some with links to the book/overview itself).
I/We also watched 7 movies - Curious? (see below)
