June 2021 Wrap Up
Right, if you've seen my June TBR you should know I got it all wrong. I shared so many ebooks and audiobooks that I wanted to read released July onwards when really I should have been concentrating on June releases and books on my shelf that I need to read before all my books get packed to move which is happening in mere moments. So if this wrap up doesn't match my TBR terribly well, that is why!
As always I will split my wrap up into ebooks, physical books and audiobooks and leave links to any reviews I have already posted. I've also made a couple of videos around these books and so make sure you keep an eye on my channel so that you don't miss those because I will try and update them here on this post but I can't make any promises because the moth of July looks just a little bit on the scary side!

July 2021 TBR
Well I made a bit of an error when I made my June TBR putting ebook releases on it for July onwards when really I should have been focused on June releases and finishing anything on my bookshelves before moving!
With that being said, July will be focused on ebooks and audiobooks since I will likely not have any physical books this month due to moving. Spoiler for my July wrap up there!
A lot of this will look similar to my June TBR since I put a lot of these releases on there but oh well-here's what I want to read in July!
July Releases
8th July
13th July
22nd July
22nd July
22nd July
August Releases
3rd August
5th August
24th August
September Releases
Other audiobooks I want to get to!
And then possibly more that I have forgotten but who really knows what July looks like? There's moving an a whole load of travelling which could mean MORE reading time but could also mean LESS reading time so wish me luck and keep an eye out on my channel for some travel reading vlogs!

Guest Review: The Cosy Castle on the Loch: Autumn (Book 3) by Alice Ross
This is the third of four short stories in The Cosy Castle on the Loch series. You can read our review of part one here and part two here!
Rory McLeod has a dream – to be a chef. Which is unfortunately a million miles away from his parents’ dream of him running the family accountancy business.
Unable to believe his luck when he’s offered the position of pastry chef at Glenduff Castle, Rory postpones entering the family firm and accepts the job – for one year. A decision which throws his parents’ and his girlfriend’s plans for his future completely off-track. And which, upon meeting a cute little pigtailed artist, completely derails Rory’s own.
Review: This is the third in a series of short stories set in the Scottish highlands, in particular at Glenduff Castle, now a luxury hotel on the shores of Loch Duff. The property houses comfortable bedrooms and welcoming public areas, while castle outbuildings have been converted to add a tearoom serving delicious cakes and a group of artists’ workshops.
This story concerns Rory McLeod, whose wealthy parents expect him to take over running the family accountancy business once his father retires and also to marry what they consider a suitable woman. However, much to their surprise, Rory announces that he has been taking cookery lessons and has accepted a one-year post as pastry chef at Glenduff Castle. There he meets up with artist Liv and her incredibly cute young son. Suddenly Rory is questioning the future that his controlling parents and girlfriend have designed for him.
I am really enjoying this series of short stories. Each of them stands alone, but there are always recurring characters. They are filled with humour as well as more serious moments, and always a generous helping of Scottish scenery. I can recommend this and the other stories in the series; all can be read in a few short hours, but can transport the reader to a different world in that time.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books of Q2
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Ok so this is the wrong title for this week but this week is top ten books for the rest of 2021 which is very similar to the books on my summer TBR which I posted 2 weeks ago. You can read that post here but today I will be posting my favourite books from Q2 of 2021. I will be posting a live video over on my BookTube channel on Thursday so make sure you head on over there and subscribe so you don't miss out on that.
I'll be sharing my picks and also Mum's picks!
