Top 10 Books July 2023

Hello~

Pretty Cure sparkles anime gif with the text Top 10 Books on it

Welcome welcome to a new Top 10 post! It is time for July!

This was an OK month, mostly just your normal day to day stuff, but also some fun moments + preparing for my vacation month which starts tomorrow (EEEP). We helped out a best friend who has bought a house (it still needs to be build, but he needs to get things sorted) by visited a faraway bathroom-tile-store, plus I went with him to check out some kitchens. It was quite fun, now he just needs to make some decisions, haha. Next to that I did some baking, got some new plants for my garden/balcony, remember how I said last month how it suddenly got way too hot and my newer plants mostly died? Well, the past weeks it has been not THAT hot so I thought I would get some new babies. I got two for the balcony, one for the back garden, and two for the front garden. They look very pretty. I picked new ones that would be blooming now until October so I got something fun to look forward to. As for Coco she is a bit of a handful at times, being quite naughty at times, but she is also growing in things. She can now hold her pee for 6-8 hours, so her bladder is all grown, and that means no more having to run outside in case she needs to go. Which is a blessing, because when she was younger, we went out so much. Haha. Now we can just go when she has her walks, in the morning, the afternoon, the evening, and before she goes to bed. With maybe one or two extras should someone be visiting (she gets a bit excited about that). Plus, this month her last teeth popped out and she now has all of her adult teeth! Oh, does anyone have any tips on feeding? We are not sure what has happened, but we think that one time she just shoved it all in and puked it out was a catalyst, but we are having trouble with feeding Coco. She does eat something eventually, but we have to do a whole dance/ritual around it. Laying some bits on the floor, some on her sleeping mat, some in the feeding bowls (yes, we got 3 different ones to see which works that day). It is a bit much. So if anyone has fun tips? Let me know!

Reading-wise a pretty good month! I tried to make sure I was all ready for my Vacation TBR, and I am! Whoop! I read some fun ARCs, had some great library books, and also read a couple from my physical TBR, though most of them had to wait. Tomorrow I can finally start!

This month I had NO 5+ starred books and FOUR 5 starred books. Not entirely the bestest of months, but I am still happy! But that means that most of the books from in my Top 10 are some of my favourite 4.5 starred books!

Disclaimer: The order of this list is random. The 5+ stars (if I have any) will always be on top, but that is the only non-randomness about the list.

    1. Thank you Susan! Not this year, normally we would go camping, but with a puppy that is just not happening yet. But I got tons of relaxation and fun planned! 😍πŸ₯³πŸŒŸ
