Comments on: July 2021 Book Reviews https://novelvisits.com/july-2021-book-reviews/ Sun, 08 Aug 2021 15:16:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Catherine https://novelvisits.com/july-2021-book-reviews/#comment-194302 Sun, 08 Aug 2021 15:16:39 +0000 https://novelvisits.com/?p=10912#comment-194302 We didn’t have much consensus in July. I didn’t love The Paper Palace to the degree everyone else did and I thought The Startup Wife was fresh- one of my favorite books of summer.

I completely agree about Brennans and here’s why–We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates. Even the title is similar! Same theme- large Irish family, secret, etc. I was really surprised. It was all too familiar.

Thanks, Susan. You know how it is, that great big circle of life. I’m really feeling it these days!

You’re right! I already feel like there is NO WAY I could go back to squeezing in work. It’s been a super busy summer and the fall is looking the same.

It’s funny, I don’t usually go for Reese’s picks either, but I just loved The Paper Palace. It will definitely be on my Best Books of 2021 list.

I hope you love The Paper Palace as much as I did.

Very glad to have these reviews. I look forward to Paper Palace and Ursa Major. I will read The Great Circle too for the early pilots part. thx for the word on these.

Happy Retirement, Susie. I have a feeling you will be wondering how you ever had time to work a full-time job. 🙂
