Welcome to my Monthly Reading Review.

MY READ OF THE MONTH
I think this month it has to be Twisted by Steve Cavanagh. I found it really hard to put this book down, and every time I thought I’d worked out who/what/why, the story went off in another direction that I’d never thought of.
BEAT THE BACKLIST
My total for this challenge is currently 7 books read. I’ve really fallen behind on this challenge at the moment, but I’d like to try and add at least a few more to this total. So far I’ve read:
The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (Poirot #35) by Agatha Christie
The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths
The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden
Taken at the Flood (Poirot #28) by Agatha Christie
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Poirot #4) by Agatha Christie
The Woman in the Woods by John Connolly
This year I’m having a go a something a little different – Beat the Backlist Bingo. I have no idea how many of these boxes I’ll manage to tick but it’s a little extra to add to my challenge.
Book with under 1000 Ratings on GoodReads – 830 for The Stranger Diaries at time of Completion.
Part of a trilogy – The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden
New-to-me Author – Kate Mascarenhas with The Psychology of Time Travel
Cover with your Favourite Colour – Taken at the Flood (Poirot #28) by Agatha Christie
Title is a Name – In this case, the title contains the name – The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Poirot #4) by Agatha Christie
Over 400 pages – The Woman in the Woods by John Connolly is 496 pages
GOODREADS
So far this year I’ve read 19 books.
GOALS
- Discovered a new-to-me author this month in Steven Cavanagh.
- I’ve posted my reviews quite promptly throughout the month, even though there haven’t been many as I’m reading quite slowly lately.
- I’m keeping up with my monthly update posts to keep track of my reading.
So concludes July’s Reading Review. See you again next month
I’m also doing a 2019 challenge to read some backlist books – I’ve only just started though so nothing to report so far.

Good luck, will love to know how you get on. You’ll probably do better than I have so far because I get distracted by all these new books. I keep them on my pile for so long they’ll end up being Backlist anyway 😀
