July & August Book List

Since I've taken a little break from this blog this summer I decided to combine my July and August reading lists. July seems so long ago now! I think this list of books shows that I will kind of read anything and everything. I don't think that's a bad thing. There are definitely genres of books I prefer, but I really do enjoy lot's of things.
I included a few audiobooks here, generally I don't count them as "books read" exactly, listening is just not the same as reading, but I did want to keep track of them and lately I prefer listening to non-fiction rather than reading it. I absolutely loved the Bill Bryson book about the history of home life.
